Why you need a new Lightning McQueen app

The Ultimate Lightning McQueen by Sphero was designed to be driven from a phone app. Sphero no longer makes or supports it, and the original app is no longer available in the app stores. That left a lot of very capable cars parked for good.

Legacy Bot Controller added Lightning McQueen support in version 1.2.0 on both iOS and Android, so your McQueen can hit the road again.
