Orbotix's April 1st #SelfieBot

In another, great pre-launch video, Boulder-based Orbotix, maker of the Sphero robotic ball, has launched its April Fool's #SelfieBot which it says is an "autonomous flying robot that shoots photos of you in high-definition." Orbotix has quite a string of amusing, fake, robot themed videos it has created over the years, including its sendup of Amazon's (real) aerial drone delivery through Amazon Prime Ground; and a military version of the Orbotix called the Sphero Peacekeeper.
