The new Star Wars movie is coming out soon, and the marketing rush has started in earnest. For a robot fan like me, this means that there’s a new addition to the Star Wars robot crowd – BB-8. In the film, this is a real robot, having been designed and built by the clever people who invented Sphero. I’m really pleased that I’ve managed to order a BB-8 robot, and it will be available for RobotFun events and parties from tomorrow, 5 September.
