"Ollie": Pursuing New Ways to Play

"Ollie," a sibling product to the robotic ball "Sphero" released last year, is an app-controlled robot born from the voices of Sphero fans who desired a robot with more speed and playability.

With its distinctive tube-like design, it delivers controlled movement and astonishing agility. Tricks like spins, drifts, jumps, and flips are easily performed via the app, offering superb operability akin to skateboarding.

Furthermore, with customizable options such as interchangeable tires and hubcaps, it can race anywhere, indoors or out.

Experience the Future of Connected Play

To connect with "Ollie," simply download the app and bring your Bluetooth™-enabled smartphone or tablet close. The "Trick Mode" allows for drifts and spins, and by holding the phone horizontally and using one finger to control the robot while moving another finger, you can perform various tricks like jumps and one-wheeled spins. In "Drive Mode," holding the phone vertically allows for intuitive control with virtual joysticks.

Tricks performed while stationary can generally be done with one finger. For tricks while moving, two fingers are required. However, grab tricks are designed to be performed with two fingers from the start.

Founded by engineers Ian Bernstein and Adam Wilson, who are passionate about robotics and software, Sphero's playful robots and software are a must-try experience.
