Sphero BOLT Sphero

Radical robot. Perfectly programmable.

Sphero BOLT is an app-enabled robotic ball that provides endless opportunities to be creative and have fun while learning. 

BOLT was built to shine with a brilliant 8×8 LED Matrix that animates and displays real-time data. Create and customise games and learn to code by drawing on your screen, using Scratch™ blocks, or writing JavaScript text programs.

Use advanced sensors to keep tabs on BOLT’s speed, acceleration, and direction, or orient and drive BOLT with the built-in compass. BOLT also features infrared communication, allowing your robot to “communicate” with other BOLTs, enabling brand new games and advanced coding tactics.

Program with the Sphero Edu app from nearly any mobile or desktop device.

Discover awesome community-created activities, or just drive and play. Activities within the Sphero Edu app are designed to expand imaginations and help shape a brighter future. They are cross-platform, cross-curriculum, and STEAM-centric! Inspire and be inspired by sharing your creations with the community (over 150 hands-on coding activities – and counting) and create assignments, track progress, and participate in activities in the classroom or at home on the interactive platform. Go beyond code with BOLT and the other Sphero robots.

BOLT’s long battery life of 2+ hours per charge means it can handle even the biggest projects (6 hrs inductive charge). Equipped with Bluetooth SMART and a durable, waterproof shell, Sphero BOLT establishes a striking new way to learn and play.
