Sphero Bolt | Educational Toy for Kids, App-Enabled Robot Ball with Sensors, Programming Robot

• 2-hour battery life
• Accelerometer and gyroscope
• Bluetooth LE
• Android and iOS app
• Programmable with Scratch or Javascript

Sphero Bolt is the latest in a line of programmable Sphero toys designed to teach kids coding. The toys work alongside the Sphero Edu app to teach basic concepts through a block-based visual language, much like Scratch, or – for more advanced students – through JavaScript.

Sphero BOLT is an app-enabled robotic ball that you can drive and code, providing endless opportunities to be creative and have fun while learning. It is built to shine with an animated 8×8 LED Matrix that displays real-time data and advanced sensors like its gyroscope, accelerometer, light sensor, compass, and infrared communications.

Bolt can be driven around with a touchscreen controller in the Sphero Edu app and it’s really designed to be programmed, responding to commands that tell it where to move at what speed and in which direction, how to rotate and when and how to flash its built-in LED lights. You can also code with the ambient light sensor that can tell if it’s light or dark, allowing for programming conditions based on brightness.
