- Hey, what's up guys?
Clintus here with Bryce and Sierra,
and we have a special package here, special delivery.
They have a brand new Sphero out, the Sprk Edition
which the kids are super,
I'm super excited to open these up because--
What's up Baby? Baby's excited too.
Look at her.
Because it's a brand new Sphero
to go along with their Sprk program.
So, the kids are gonna, we're going to unbox these
check em out, check out the new Spheros,
and then the kids are actually going to
dive into Sprk and actually build a program
using Sphero.
So, you guys excited?
- Yeah. - Yeah.
- Alright, let's do this.
We're going to open this bad boy up
right here, right now.
- Baby thinks it's--
- I know.
Alright let's do this.
We got the new Sphero Sprk Edition.
These are brand new Spheros.
Check it out, they're like see-through.
You can actually see the robotics inside.
Look at that.
- Sprk.
- Yeah, that's how it's spelled.
Pretty cool, right?
It's Schools, Parents, Robots, Kids.
That's what Sprk stands for.
Check it out, that just shows you all the contents
of how a Sphero, of what makes a Sphero a Sphero.
- Gosh.
- What's another one?
- There you go.
Bryce went right to it.
It says "What will you create?"
So, in the box, we have the Sphero,
we have the charger, and we have all the cables.
- Oh, even the charger's see-through.
- Even the charger's see-through.
Look at that, isn't that cool? - Yeah.
- And so, because the Sphero doesn't
actually have any ports, there's no,
nowhere to plug it in at,
it actually charges, and this is so cool,
this is actually very, very cool that you guys can see this
if you look, there's two copper rings.
One on the charger, one on the Sphero.
When the two connect, that's how it charges.
It's called Inductive charging.
- I thought there was something that plugs into that.
- This has something that plugs into it,
but the Sphero doesn't.
It just sits on top and that's how it charges.
It's called Inductive Charging.
So, we look inside, you can see the motor
and the gears and the different,
like wheels inside that make the Sphero
kind of move around and roll.
And it's got some weight to it,
so when this thing rolls,
it definitely rolls around.
And again, if you've seen our previous Sphero videos,
you know exactly what Sphero can do.
So, inside here, you have your Quick Start guide,
you got a little notepad
to write down some notes and whatnot,
and it looks like we have a protractor,
and three tabs, three little one, two, three cutouts.
Alright so, we've download the Sprk app on our iPads,
and so now we're going to connect
our Sphero to the iPad which does by Bluetooth.
So, basically once you have your Sphero,
you double tap it to wake it up.
(tap tap) And it lightS up.
And so, it's going to have a sequence of colors
and this tells you which Sphero
you're connecting to.
It'll have a series of lights.
So we have green, we have yellow,
and then we have purple.
Alright, you know, it's probably orange, I'm sorry.
So it should be G-O-P which is what we see.
Sphero G-O-P, so then click on that.
It's going to connect and then
it should turn white when we're connected.
There we go, it's connected.
And now we're connected, the color's changed.
So, now we'll go into this, the Sprk app,
and we have Bryce's connected here.
So, we've got a copy of the introduction,
so I assume this is an introduction program.
And a bunch of sample programs.
So, we have lights, auto-drive,
circles, spiraling growth, figure eight,
triangle, square, bunch of sample programs.
So, I don't know, let's do like Lights.
We'll click on Lights and see what happens here.
So, we got Lights, and it looks like we have
Set Color, Set Delay, and we can change
the series of lights, and so let's
what do you think, Sierra?
The first color says red, and it's for 1000 milliseconds.
What do you think?
We should change that?
- Or maybe we should do rainbow.
Like red, orange, yellow, green, blue.
- Alright, let's do that.
So, I'll do it on the big one,
you do it on that one, okay?
So, the first one's red, right?
So then the next color's what?
- Orange. - Orange.
Then yellow.
- Orange.
- Do I press the check?
- Yeah, check mark when you're done.
- Check.
- Alright, then kind of scroll it up.
Click on the second yellow one.
Ooo, I don't know.
- Like maybe fade from a color to a color.
- This says orange to red, red to green.
Alright, so the kids have changed
the sequence of the colors,
so it should be like a rainbow.
So, we're going to go ahead and hit Run.
You ready?
Three, two, one.
- Okay, it's red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple.
- Boom.
- Cool.
- Red, orange--
- Now it goes into a fade.
Look it starts, it's bright, blinking.
- Now it's blinking.
- Okay, that's it.
Is it over?
- I'm going to change my orange.
It looked kinda, looked--
- I'm going to do it again, right?
Boom. Red, orange, yellow, green.
- Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple.
- And there's the fade.
And the fades were...
- Oh yeah, okay.
I'm gonna do--
- Simple enough, simple enough.
Alright, so Sierra changed her fade colors at the end.
So, it should still do the rainbow,
but then there should be some different colors at the end.
Go for it.
- So, it'll fade to different colors
and then it'll do blinking of one color.
- There's my red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple,
green to blue, blue to purple,
and then my blinking was green.
- Awesome.
Creating programs or modifying preexisting ones
is super simple.
As you can see here,
Bryce is just dragging and dropping
the different actions he wants to take
in the order that he wants them to take.
Once you have the actions placed,
you can click on the little bubbles to adjust
the different settings of those actions.
So, there's various different apps to use
with your Sphero.
The Sprk App is the one we were just using,
and that is a Drag and Drop C-Based Block Programming.
There's MacroLab which is
Programming with Visual Macros.
And then there's the OrbBasic
which is Text Programming in a Basic Language.
So, different apps for different
types of programming styles at different levels,
depending on your level of learning
and your level of programming.
And there's a whole bunch of different lessons
that you can actually do on the Sphero's website.
I believe it's sphero.com/education.
- [Clintus] You can all the original Sphero
apps and games with your Sphero Sprk.
The Rolling Dead is probably our favorite.
It's basically a zombie game.
Zombies are trying to attack your Sphero
and it actually uses the camera on your device
to drive the Sphero around
and you can shoot like fireballs at the zombies and stuff.
It's pretty awesome.
Of course, you can use the original
Sphero App to just drive it around,
play some games, do some races
with some friends and of course,
some sweet, sweet dance moves.
(techno beat)
- [Clintus] Disco dance! Disco dance, yeah!
I love the clear Sphero Sprk.
You can see the lights much, much clearer
and it just, it's so much brighter, so much more vivid.
Just makes a good time driving
the Spheros around for sure.
Big shout out to Orbotix for sending us
these Sphero Sprk editions.
We're big fans.
I have a Sphero, we got a couple Ollies,
now we have these Sprk Editions here,
and like I said, the kids are super-excited to
continue the learning
and see what all the different things they can do
with the different programming languages.
- Yep.
- I'll have links down in the description below
for the website as well as information
on how you can get your own Sphero Sprk Edition
and we'll see you guys next time.
Bye! - Bye!
