Last year I introduced you to Sphero, a fun remote-controlled round toy that is played using a tablet or phone. Now, there’s a new app-enabled racing toy on the market that is pretty cool in looks and with great new features as well. Get ready for Darkside!
Devious.Defiant. Diabolical. Dangerous. Few have the strength to command the dark powers bound within this robot. This is Darkside – an electrical beast that draws its energy from unrestrained competition and reckless abandon. Command this app-enabled robot with these forces to unleash its unrivaled power. But take heed – the Darkside will overpower anything standing in the way of victory – including its master. You have been warned.
Darkside rolls at speeds of up to 14 mph and connects instantly to your device via Bluetooth SMART with a range of up to 100 feet. Turn on a dime with Nubby Tires or take them off to drift like a street racer. Darkside also comes with a bonus set of Turbo Tires and Flux Hubs so you can customize performance. Powered by USB charging, Darkside’s LED’s glow in customizable colors as it spins, drifts and flips with app-powered tricks.
Setting up Darkside is really easy {the girls decided ours was appropriately named Darth Vader}. Just download the app {iOS & Android compatible} and it walks you through just a few steps to connect and play. There’s great demos to start with and then games and tricks once you start playing.
Once connected to your smartphone or tablet, it has a range of up to 100 feet and can race up to 22km/hr. Darkside is charged through USB and comes with a set of Turbo Tires and Flux Hubs, so you can master any terrain imaginable.
This sinister Darkside, twists and spins jumps – which makes for high action fun. I know this isn’t made for pets, but seeing our puppy interact with darkside is entertainment in itself. Poor puppy has definitely met the Darkside!
Darkside has a really strong durable shell which protects it from bangs and drops, plus it has LED lighting which looks cool in the dark. The girls love to play with this in the evenings, room to room in darkness.
It’s not uncommon for me to see a flash of light whip past me – watch out for Darkside! you’re well protected and the LED lights mean driving at night…and more possibilities!
