Hello fellow robots and roboticists, 

I'd like to draw your attention to a new package (my first) which allows the control of a Sphero robot. It is written in C++ and uses bluez to send packets to the robot. The package is at a proof of concept stage, but within the next few weeks it will allow full velocity and color command from messages. This package was developed at the ARLab, University of Utah.

If you have suggestions or run into problems please let me know through the git!
