Sphero provided Digital Trends with a unit to test drive, and we were struck by how life-like McQueen seems. There’s even an ambient sensor that adjusts the toy’s head and tail lights based on environmental light levels. Five capacitive touch panels allow Lightning McQueen to respond to physical taps on the roof, hood, side doors, and rear window. This system consists of six motors - three for emotive side-to-side movements, two for the front tires, and one for steering - and three processors, including one dedicated to the toy’s eye animations. Sphero tapped Gus Aramayo, a mechanical engineer with over 10 years of experience in the powersports industry, to design Lightning McQueen’s suspension and steering. Meanwhile, a powerful, built-in sound system pumps out over 300 different phrases recorded by Owen Wilson, the voice of Lightning McQueen. A custom-designed trapezoidal screen under the windshield animates two big, expressive eyes that seem to follow you around the room, while a dedicated motor moves McQueen’s mouth. But switched on, it’s far more impressive. That’s all to say Lightning McQueen looks great powered down and just sitting on a table.
