‘Star Wars’ BB-8 toy torn apart to see how it works
If your social feeds are anything like mine, they’re full of folks squeeing with delight over their new BB-8 droid today. The folks at uBreakiFix got one too, but instead of playing with Star Wars: The Force Awakens‘ charmer, they cut it apart to see what makes the toy tick. Perhaps unsurprisingly, the little rascal operates on a gyroscope, pair of wheels and sizable counterweight to keep everything balanced inside its plastic case. Meanwhile, a magnet keeps the adorable android’s head attached to the spherical body. The video below is brief, but that won’t make it easier to watch for anyone who’s lusting after the $150 tie-in (and either can’t afford or find one) from a galaxy far, far away. I’m truly sorry.
