Sphero Mini Ball (Michelle Jhonson)

Initial Thoughts:

What interested me the most was the thought of coding the sphero where to go and learn how to do it. My goal for this is to make the Sphero go in a full circle. From observing the application there is not a direct command for a full circle. I'm not aiming for perfection because I am still trying to figure it out. I am more focused on the experience that the actual goal.

In these pictures show the movement of the mini sphero with the code that I made, my goal was to make a full circle. These two pictures are form the same code meaning that there will always be variation in the final outcome of the sphero mini

Review :

I really enjoyed experimenting with this gadget. I found it tricky, I think it was definitely a learning process, but I wouldn't say it was hard. I think something that you definitely need to know before using this toy is the aim. This is becasue based on the aim, is which wat the robot goes. For example it is like someone is in front of you and you are looking face to face, your left won't be their left. I think navigating the app could use training but it is not impossible to figure out yourself. I would recommend this item becasue it really introduces to all the things you can do with coding. I think there are many ways you can use this and have fun with it.

• The thing about the sphero mini ball is that it gives you complete freedom of what you want to do.

• A helpful video that is not the exact sphero mini but it still shows a great demonstration:
