Hi.
At school we use Spheros.(Sphero website)
If you added a Sphero extension. people could make projects that connect to sphero,
and are able to control how it rolls, it's speed, and the color of it's light.
I was very disappointed when i found out the scratch bit didn't have wheels.
Please take this idea into consideration

Just gonna bump this topic so no-one can necropost.
This is a good idea, but some people might not use this extension.
Why? Because making a project “Sphero-exclusive” might not be very useful for those who don't have a Sphero.

Yes.
However, for the Makey-Makey, you can also use your keyboard.

My brother has a Sphero, and I think adding this to scratch would be beneficial with Sphero, so support

The sphero coding interface is kind of confusing so id like to see Scratch as an option.

I think this wouldn't be on the top priority list though. However, this could be a really cool function for Scratch, and encourage more creativity with Scratch and Spheros. After all, creativity is a main goal of Scratch.

Would we be able to manually control the Sphero (using WASD or a joystick to move the ball) as well in Scratch?

Support, they could add this to the list of devices Scratch supports through Bluetooth.

Sphero is a good tool to use with Scratch as they are very fun to play with, and work well with computation.
