Does anyone else here have a Sphero SPRK+? It's this robotic ball that rolls around, and there's an app you can get where you can use block-based coding to control it. After getting a SPRK+ this Christmas, I tested out the block programming app for it, it worked great and the first thing that popped into my mind when i first opened the app was “Scratch”. I hope it's possible for MIT to contact the creators of the Sphero SPRK+, and maybe make it possible to link it to Scratch as an extension, and create blocks for it: and clicking the green flag, or double tapping the Sphero SPRK+, activates scripts. Below is an example:

when SPRK+ double-tapped :: extension hat
roll (15) inches :: extension
set SPRK+ light color to [#00FF00] ::extension
point SPRK+ in direction (90 v) ::extension
turn light [on v] ::extension

I really want this to be a reality.

Please make it happen, Scratch Team!

Nice Idea! I kinda saw this coming when I saw your forum post. (I saw the project about this) Anyways, yeah. ENDY supports this!

UNIDENTFIED CRINGY OBJECT :: looks
OMG IT'S ENDERAWESOMENESS :: looks

Actually this would be better for the roll block:

roll (15) [inches v] :: extension

you might want to edit the OP for that

SUPPORT, Robots connecting to scratch is cool! Even though I dont have a SPRK+
