func main() {

  spheroAdaptor := new(gobotSphero.SpheroAdaptor)
  spheroAdaptor.Name = "Sphero"
  spheroAdaptor.Port = "127.0.0.1:4560"

  sphero := gobotSphero.NewSphero(spheroAdaptor)
  sphero.Name = "Sphero"

  connections := []gobot.Connection {
    spheroAdaptor,
  }
  devices := []gobot.Device {
    sphero,
  }

  work := func(){
    gobot.Every("2s", func(){ 
      sphero.Roll(100, uint16(gobot.Random(0, 360))) 
    })
  }
  
  robot := gobot.Robot{
      Connections: connections, 
      Devices: devices,
      Work: work,
  }

  robot.Start()
