Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Sphero mini is an excellent product to introduce kids to robotics. My 4th grader loves this! Por el lado bueno.

If there's any issue we just simply recalibrate it and it's good to go.

App seems to run on javascript, and at the time of this review, i haven't checked that completely. Functions similar to unreal engine 5's blueprints system.

The stick controls work well but are finicky. Coding is straight forward and simple commands of direction and colors. For example, pressing up will always send it towards the east wall of my house.



Cons

It's about the size of a ping pong ball. It splits open in half if it bumps to a hard surface fast.

This is dumb. Completely unacceptable. Very disappointed daughter. It does not. Don't waste your money.

Yes it is a remote control golf ball but at about 20 times the price of the one i lost

He was superexcited to get it and used it constantly for about a month


I just wish they were easy to come by or cheaper so i could give them to local teachers as steam kits

Packaging/appearance


Here is a unboxing video for you guys the box was well built and the robot finally charged and is so much fun to play with


Don’t be discouraged by the packaging or lack of instructions

Competitiveness


I missed the different apps that sphero originally had that made it as good as it was


This thing is better than an rc car
