Sphero is having a fantastic year with that new BB-8 from Star Wars, but its latest video features 100 of its SPRKs Sphero robots rolling around and having a ball.
The delightful video is directed by YouTuber and short filmmaker Scott Winn. The choreographed dance also features YouTube/social media phenom and performer Jordyn Jones.
CNET interviewed Winn on the process, who said that their intention was to help kids learn more about engineering and robotics in a fun, lighthearted way.
“This was a tough one to pull off,” Winn told CNET. “It took a lot of prep and planning. And even on the day of shooting there was a level of uncertainty going into it all. There was only so much programming we could do with the balls. The rest was trial and error, and we had to make sure Jordyn, our dancer, the balls, and camera and lighting were all synced up.”
Watch the behind-the-scenes making of the video below:
