Review: A Great Addition to Any STEM Classroom! - I love using Sphero robots in my third grade classroom. The BOLT is a great addition to our Sphero STEM collection, joining our current lineup of BB-8, BB-9E, and a SPRK+. HARDWARE REVIEW BOLT is just as durable as the SPRK+, but it has some upgrades that make it my new go-to for demonstrations. Sphero upgraded the battery life on the BOLT, minimizing worries that the battery might during a longer STEM project. I used it during my 90-minute Wednesday lab, starting with a full charge, and it was still rolling when we lined up for the buses at the end of our lab. The LED matrix is an update on the color-changing SPRK. Now the kids can program in things like text and simple images to give the BOLT some character. There are also new sensors for things like light, magnetic north, and infrared that I haven’t had time to play around with yet. I do think my kids will have fun with the light sensors; and I look forward to using them to add another layer of complexity for my students who easily master basic blocky programming. SOFTWARE REVIEW This robot is compatible with the existing Sphero apps. You won’t have any nasty surprises if you change from an older robot to a BOLT. As an elementary teacher, the Sphero Edu app is one of my favorites to introduce coding. The kids program the robot using blocky, which is a great intro to coding and children pick it up very quickly. I teach 8 and 9 year olds, so it can be challenging to find a starting point for computer science that is on their level and engaging. The hands-on nature of these robots keeps them entertained and excited for the whole lesson. My kids love to design challenges for one another and I love watching them try to problem solve and work together.
Review: Great robot! - My 14 year old got this for Christmas 2024, and has really enjoyed it! He is using it with our homeschool co-op and has advanced quickly with his peers, bc he has the chance to practice with his own bot at home 🥰 if there is another sale I would love to get one for my daughter is is interested too!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Not sure about suggested age... 8 months to seven years? was considering for my almost nine and almost 11 year old. is this too old for this bolt?**
A: 8 months-7 Years is too young. Depending on how responsible your kid is, age 8-100000 is what I would suggest.

**Q: Will this sphero work on carpet?**
A: Yes, the sphero bolt works on carpet. However it works better on wood and travels more distance for the same program. My daughter added a video to show the difference. check it out: https://youtu.be/ga4tAH9OPBc

**Q: Can this sphero also be driven manually using a phone or tablet?  the mini has this feature and was hoping to find it on the more advanced models. thx**
A: Yes, we use Kindles in our classroom to run all the Sphero robots, including Bolt.

**Q: Is this compatible with the normal sphero app?**
A: Greetings - Thanks for checking.  You can use the Sphero Play and Sphero Edu app with Sphero BOLT - -thanks for checking!  https://www.sphero.com/about/play-app/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ So much educational fun that you don’t even know you’re learning
*by C***Y on June 21, 2020*

I bought this for my class, I teach sixth grade math and robotics to sixth and seventh graders. I’m so happy with this purchase. I do recommend getting some kind of cover for it or keeping it off of hard flooring. The problem is they get scratched pretty easy and in a classroom setting the poor thing looks like it’s been abused. I did find a way around this by creating my own mazes. The kids get great joy watching and helping me create the maze and it is a huge skill to be able to program that Sphero to run the maze. I usually start my students off with using their finger to drive it, but then I move them to programming it to run the maze. It’s amazing how quickly they learn how to program. Some of my mazes are a little difficult and I know they get a little frustrated but they will work until they figure it out. I think this is probably one of the best things that I have purchased for my robotics class
