Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Bb-8 is adorable. Overall thou it’s an awesome toy. But it is so much more than a toy. A really cool robot for any age.

Tried it with r2d2 and rogue one. In addition to the bb8 apps it is fully compatible with the sphero ecosystem. It makes me want to collect all the starwars sphero droids.

It still work after a year from purchase. Es un gran producto. That’s not a problem with or assessment of this product, but worth noting.

My one complaint about this is is the circle joystick is moveable. But it is well-controlled with the force band. My youngster was thrilled with the technology.

Cons

Stuck at 99% for two hours, then timed out. Now, the droid and the force band are useless. Pretty much useless without the charging base. I have the * boc for bb-8 and it's empty!

Band is too small for my wrist. It needs an app to operate, but the app can be installed only on new versions of android. The force band app constantly crashes so we haven't even been able to use it.
