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/

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great educational tool
*by R***E on January 4, 2026*

I wasn’t sure about this when my husband bought it to teach our kids about robots and ai, but my mind has been changed! It’s durable for young kids to play with. It’s small and easy to store. The cost is high but it highly educational. My kids are learning so much from hand eye coordination to intro to coding. No assembly needed. Quite versatile and worth it!
