The Sphero Force Band fits easily on your wrist via an adjustable fastener.

Do you need this for your BB8 Or R2D2 no. But it is kinda cool. Control your robot with out using a tablet or phone just the band. It dosnt work as well as using a tablet but it works. I just need more practice. Nice add on for a cool toy. Just make sure you get it for the right price.

This adds a new layer of fun to the Sphere line of droids. Works with both the BB8 style and the R2D2 style.

Better for BB8 than R2

I got a force band with BB8 about a year ago, and it makes controlling him soooo much easier (although it takes some getting used to). Some of R2's charm is from other actions that are only controlled through the app. Using the band with R2 doesn't seem to have the same impact since he's not a ball, but it is fun. My 4 year old can actually control the droids with the band, so that's a plus.

I received the band with the purchase of the BB8 droid, which made this a great add on Christmas gift.
