The HardwareSerial makes things so much easier though.</p><p>If you'd like to try iy out, it's located here: https://github.com/cmonr/Arduino-Sphero-Library</p></p>

Is it possible to talk to it directly over Bluetooth? It would be interesting to try building a ROS driver for this, but having to go through an Android intermediary would be a giant pain.</p>

Getting it apart is a challenge and getting it back together is... well, it won't go back together.</p>
