See how BB8 (NO NOT the Dick winning version) is about to take over the world.

Stunned.
It's not CGI (is it? Somehow a green screen is used? Or stop-mo-claymation? If so, that can't have been a live event. Can it?)
But it's also not a real device (is it? That's just not possible, is it?).
So how did they do that?
I don't know, but I just know I want one. With an on/off switch for the vocal chip. It seems kinda preachy.

I'm sure Magneto is behind it. Or is that the wrong movie franchise?

I think it's done with electric eels. Like Frankenstein.

Pretty amazing, right?
Time to throw a couple dollars behind some Orbotix stock. Sphero, the company behind BB8 has been given over 20mill recently to develop the Next Generation of Toys.
Move over Rubik.
Take that Cabbage Patch.
Hasta La Vista Teddy Ruxpin.
