Review on Programmable App-Enabled Sphero BOLT Robot Ball With Sensors, LED Matrix, Infrared & Compass - STEM Educational Toy For Kids To Learn JavaScript, Scratch & Swift by Ynot Karlen

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It Blinded Me with Science

This is a learning toy so unless you have the patience and desire to learn rudimentary programming (which I don’t) Bolt is best left on the shelf. It doesn’t have the ability to interact or mimic a personality as some other robots do. That being said I do enjoy seeing it sandwiched between my R2 and BB-8 units.

Pros
  • Can be controlled using a smartphone or tablet app
Cons
  • May require frequent replacement of parts or maintenance to keep it functioning properly
