Product Description
Driving. Gaming. Coding. Now Fun-Sized.
Drive a robot and then learn to code it on your own! Sphero Mini is a powerful, ping pong-size robotic ball with a gyroscope, accelerometer, and LED lights that glow in tons of colors. Our free apps make it simple to explore a huge range of experiences.
Each robot ball comes with 3 traffic cones and 6 bowling pins. Weave in and out of the cones, knock down the pins, or build your very own obstacle course. Different drive modes, arcade-style games, and basic coding commands enable endless fun in the Sphero Play app.
More experienced learners can advance to programming the Mini with block-based coding or JavaScript in the Sphero Edu app. Get started learning STEM at home with Sphero Mini and our how-to resources guide for parents and remote educators.
