Make Your Own Mini STAR WARS BB-8 Droid!

View fullsize

One of the coolest things that I saw at Star Wars Celebration 2015 was when the new BB-8 droid from Star Wars: The Force Awakens was introduced to a crowd of excited fans. I knew that the droid was a practical effect, but seeing it in person actually working was pretty mind-blowing. 

Now thanks to industrial designer Christian Poulsen, you can learn how to build your own mini version of the adorable droid! Apparently the main ingredients include a sphero and magnets. You can watch a video below of his creation in action below, and if you want to make your own all you need to do is click here.
