Orbotix Debuts At CES, Takes Reservations

Boulder-based Orbotix the robotic ball developer backed by the Foundry Group, has unveiled its products at CES this week, saying that it is now accepting reservations for the device. The firm's device, the Sphero, is a robotic ball controlled by a smart phone. Orbotix said the product will be available near the end of the year, for less than $100, and that it is accepting reservations for the device for future delivery. Orbotix scored funding from Foundry in September, and is part of this year's TechStars class.
