前言
最近BB-8剛剛發售，我看了視頻，深深被這個萌物打動，於是也想到亞馬遜買一隻。這篇翻譯是美國亞馬遜上BB-8的購買評價。給剁手黨和真愛粉瞭解下具體的情況。

The product video is fairly misleading here and it can't do a whole lot
considering the price 2015年9月5日
評論者 Steven M. Messinger - 已在美國亞馬遜上發表
I picked mine up today and was a bit disappointed by what this “droid” can actually do. First a few things it can’t do that the product video makes it seem like it can:
-There is no speaker or camera on the droid itself. It can not make any sounds or hear you. The actual app on the phone makes noises but nothing comes from the droid.
-When the droid is on patrol mode it just randomly rolls around and bumps into things. It doesn’t actual learn the room or do anything more than pick random directions, bump into objects, and then go in other random directions.
It’s a fun little toy but you’re not getting a whole lot for this price tag. A little camera on the droid that you could watch on the app and speakers on the droid would have made this a five star product.
我今天收到貨了，對這個機器人有一點小失望。首先它沒辦法做一些事情，但是產品宣傳視頻起到了誤導作用：
機器人沒有揚聲器和攝像頭。它沒辦法發出任何聲音或者聽你講話。手機上的APP會發聲，但機器人不會。
當機器人啓動巡邏模式，它是隨機滾動，橫衝直撞。它根本不會熟悉房間，在一個方向撞到東西時，甚至都不會改到另一個隨機方向。
它是一個好玩的小玩具，但似乎不值這個價格。如果機器人上能加一個讓你在app上觀看的小攝像頭，再加一個揚聲器，那這將會是一個五星的產品。

BB-Gr8 2015年9月5日
評論者 Terri A - 已在美國亞馬遜上發表
This is a great droid and toy to play with. My dogs immediately went into “puppy mode” when seeing whirl itself around the living room. It’s a little tricky to get the steering down at first but after about 5 minutes I had it down.
I was slightly disappointed that BB-8 doesn’t actually have a type of AI that makes it aware of the surroundings when it goes into patrol mode.
The projection is a neat feature and cool to show off to friends and young ones. Especially because you can record a short clip using your camera and then BB-8 will display it in front of you on your phone screen. The only down side is that I REALLY wish you could post this records of BB-8 to social media because it would be neat to share the videos that way.
The battery life is pretty good if you ask me. The box advertises 60 minutes and I had it out for about 30-35 or so and I didn’t notice any slowing down in movement. It does take about 3 hours to charge to full.
All in all I would give it 4 stars because it does feature a lot of cool things but it comes up slightly short in a couple areas.
Good job Sphero, and please release new software updates soon so we can hopefully record and upload our videos to social media.
這是個很棒很好玩的機器人。我家的狗兒特別喜歡它。操作稍微有點複雜，花了5分鐘左右搞懂了它。
當它在巡邏模式時，它不能像一個AI那樣去熟悉環境，對此我有點小失望。
這個小機器人設計得很友好，很帥，可以跟朋友們和小孩們炫耀。特別是你可以錄製短視頻，讓這個小機器人出現在手機屏幕上。不足的地方就是，我特別希望可以直接將這個錄製分享到社交媒體，讓視頻分享的交互更加友好。
如果你問我電池電量的話，我會回答你很好。盒子包裝上宣傳是60分鐘，我玩了30-35分鐘，沒發現移動上有減緩。注意它需要充電3小時才能充滿。
總而言之，我會給這個產品四星，它的確很酷，但還有一些不足。
Sphero乾的不錯，希望儘快升級新的軟件版本，可以直接錄製和上傳視頻到社交媒體。

Awesome little droid 2015年9月5日
評論者 Epilady - 已在美國亞馬遜上發表
BB-8 has been a ton of fun to play with today. Even the cats got in on some droid-chasing action. The small head has little wheels underneath and attaches to the bigger body via a magnet - but the user does have to be careful in where to attach it. It had enough juice out of the box to play with for a little bit, but it does take about 3 hours to fully charge and runs about an hour on that charge. So there is some limited functionality that might disappoint some consumers (not ones who have watched the video). Right now (launch day 9.4.2015), the Android app does NOT support voice commands, which is a little disappointing. There is supposed to be an update “soon” and I expect the enjoyment of this droid will greatly increase.
Upstairs, the rooms have a medium pile carpet and several wool rugs. BB-8 navigated them with ease, including the transition up and onto the rug. The downside? If there is pet hair in your carpet, even after vacuuming, the head of BB-8 will pick up some of the hairs and need a small cleaning out of the wheels (ahem, ask me how I know).
It is adorable, fun, and takes a bit of time to master the controls. However, a certain very delighted 4 year old was able to make BB-8 move as he wished. The sounds and lights are great, although sounds are made via the phone app (would’ve been hard to balance and place speakers in a rotating object this small) and BB-8 stops working if the user shuts down the app - hence the moniker “app enabled droid” vs “droid”.
It’s incredibly cute and while smaller than the Star Wars R2-D2 Interactive Astromech Droid it’s more actually more engaging and fun. Looking forward to much more play with it..
今天玩了BB-8，很有意思。我家的貓不停地追趕它。BB-8的頭底下有小輪子，通過磁鐵吸附在身子上 - 可以吸附在身子上的任何位置。當它拿出來的時候，還可以玩會兒，但它需要充3小時才能玩1小時，這點限制可能會讓一些人失望。截止目前(2015年9月5日),Android app還不支持語音命令，對此有點小失望。希望能儘快更新app，增加機器人的可玩性。
樓上的房間有一個絨毛地毯和一些羊毛毯，BB-8可以靈活地在上面行駛，包括駛過羊毛毯。缺點是，如果毯子上有一些頭髮，BB-8就會蒐集一些頭髮，必須要從輪子上清理出來。
它很討人喜歡，有意思，控制它的話需要花一點時間。但是，當4歲的小孩可以靈活控制BB-8的移動的時候他會很開心。聲音和燈光很棒，即使聲音是通過app發出的。當關閉app的時候BB-8也停止了工作-正應了這名字“app使能的機器人”而不是“機器人”。
它比星戰中的R2-D2機器人還要可愛，外觀上更小，更有意思。期待它能有更多的玩法…

Get your own mini droid! w/updates! 2015年9月4日
評論者 Aries S. - 已在美國亞馬遜上發表
sold everywhere so no point paying more then retail.
It’s not quite as responsive as I expected it to be, and I haven’t figured out how to make it peek around corners like in the commercial.
It’s a lil more then I wanted to pay, but seeing that a non Star Wars version is $20 less, it’s a decent toy.
It’s glossy finished, and about the size of an orange. I wished it could been bigger, like the size of a basketball.
It runs great on carpet and tiled floors, but it lacks the power to go from my kitchen to my living room. The tile is a lil bit lower then the carpet, and that makes all the difference when he follows me into the kitchen and is unable to get out!
-update//- the ball portion doesn’t work with sphero 2.0 accessories or its apps for that matter.I haven’t figured out how to keep him from falling off the coffee table. I am using “explore” and that will hopefully make BB8 learn his surroundings better.
-update//- with more time spent on this “droid” I have finally figured out how to keep bb8 from falling off a coffee table. The limits of the so called AI is actually on the app itself.
-on the ground, bb8 will learn to avoid obstacles by bumping into them once or twice, “mapping” the obstacles in the app as more time is given to her.
-to keep bb8 from falling off a coffee table, you’d have to train it. It won’t detect that’s there’s danger in front of her and not fall off the table. She will always fall off. To stop this, place books or TV remote or dvd cases around the edge of the coffee table. After bb8 has run into them, go ahead and remove the “blockade,” bb8’s mapping system will remind her that the edges have obstacles.Because the movie is under wraps and Lucafilm doesn’t want spoilers, the droid has limited features. Hopefully when the movie comes out, a new patch will be made with references from the movie!
BB-8跟我的想象還有點出入，我還不知道如何才能做到預告片的那個片段，就是BB-8在牆角偷偷探出頭的那個動作。
感覺價格高了點，非星戰版本便宜了20美元，這個價格我覺得倒還差不多。
它的表面是光滑的，尺寸像個橘子。但我希望它能再大一點，像籃球那麼大。
它在我的地毯和瓷磚地板上行駛地很好，但是從廚房跑到起居室就動力不足了。瓷磚比地毯要低一點，當他跟我到廚房，然後便無法出去了。
我還不知道怎麼樣防止它掉下咖啡桌。我啓動探險模式，期望BB8可以學習周圍的環境。
-更新//經過多次嘗試，我終於知道怎麼樣防止BB8掉落咖啡桌。所謂的AI實際上都是依賴app本身。
由於電影還在拍攝，盧卡斯影業還不能泄漏信息，包括這個機器人的一些限制特性。期望電影能盡快出來，一個新補丁能隨着電影出來。
