BB-8 and the
Sphero are likely to share a very similar internal mechanism. The RC robotic
ball uses a gyroscope to determine which way is down and two wheels to move the
sphere from inside. The base plate (batteries included) serves as a
counterweight to keep the wheels acting against the lower half of the sphere.
There's also a vertical bearing that helps to keep the wheels in contact with
the walls.

colour suit did the B-B8 operator wear?
Green
39.Whay did
he have to wear such a suit?
Because when he manoeuvred B-B8 when they’re in Jakku running
away from the Storm troopers, B-B8 couldn’t move quick enough so puppeteers steered
him and by wearing a green suit editor could edit him out easily or apply the
background over him.

While

computer-generated effects to bring to life not only memorable characters like
Maz Kanata, but also exciting explosions, droids, space battles and more. In

reveals in the video interview with FX Guide
that approximately 2,100 of the movie's 2,500 shots have some sort of CGI
included in them
