YES! The Christmas toys are coming in, and as much fun as playing with all the gadgets in the office is, there is nothing better than getting to play with toys in the name of work. R2-D2 from Sphero is exactly the sort of thing that would have been at the top of my Christmas list when I was younger (who am I kidding it’s on there now). This clever little Astromech Droid is from a galaxy far, far away but coincidently happens to be completely compatible with your smartphone once you download the app (what are the chances?) You can control your Droid from your smart device or keep Artoo in top shape with holographic simulations. The technology featured in R2-D2 is unlike any other Astromech Droid. He will perform authentic movements and will go between bipod to tripod stances in one cool little move, you can drive him around whilst he makes completely adorable beep boop noises (some rather cheeky ones too), trigger emotive waddles and make him have a complete paddy and fall over.

The Droid to Droid Experience feature means he will happily interact with other Sphero App-Enabled Droids that you or your friends may own. He has authentic LEDs and Artoo’s signature front and rear lights are fully functional. R2-D2, is part of the Rebel Alliance, is a skilled Starship mechanic, and fighter pilot’s assistant with many features to interact with and explore through the app. Not only can you control your Droids, but you can also watch Star War films with R2-D2 reacting by your side, explore Starships and watch the holographic simulations from the Star Wars galaxy with Artoo and the Sphero App-Enabled Droids. The app isn’t the most intuitive design but looks authentically Star Wars, it takes a little practice to get used to him moving about, but when you get the hang of him it is so much fun whipping him about the house. It is compatible with only iOS or Android devices, iOS iPad 3+, iOS 9+, iPhone 4S+, iOS 9+, iPod Touch 5th Generation+ and iOS 9+, and Android devices. While having OS 5.0 or higher, they must also have all of the following hardware in order to operate a Droid using the app: Bluetooth LE (4.0), front and rear-facing cameras, microphone, distinct multi-touch landscape touchscreen, hardware sensors including gyroscope and accelerometer and Wi-Fi capabilities. I love this product, it is absolutely delightful, it’s like having a mini version of the real thing run about your house. RRP £179.9
