But seriously, I've been a Star Wars nut since forever, and the new preview gave me goosebumps. It's gonna be awesome.
Anybody have any ideas how they did this?
Although, I am not sure how much weight they can hold up (doubt it is much). Also wonder if it is easily knocked out of its magnetic zone. If the robot got bumped his head would fall off....
Btw, check this thread. It was a question for you, but the poster didn't say so in the subject... http://www.ez-robot.com/Community/Forum/Thread?threadId=7713
I can confirm that the head is similar to the sphero with magnets on a mast. Not sure how shpero's works completely but the magnets seemed constant. On the Hasbro one they are electro magnets and only stick when the powers on.
That's all the info I have that I haven't seen on the internets already.
I did see a vid of a guy who cut open the sphero BB-8 and it looked as though the mast may rotate on it. The Hasbro version doesn't.
I've hopes to snag the sphero version soon. I'm curious to see if the existing EZ sphero controls work or if it will even connect. I never bothered to get sphero so I don't know much about it. Yet.
