What is the difference between this and the sphero sprk?

Hello, The Sphero SPRK Edition includes the same sensors and electronics as Sphero 2.0 but unlike the white shell, the clear polycarbonate material brings you closer to the robotic action you can see thru the sphere and all the components. You can immediately see the connection between the program you created and how the guts of your Sphero work and react.The in-box accessories also differ. Sphero 2.0 comes with ramps and SPRK Edition includes a genius kit to help you get creative.

Which sphero products can auto roam on their own, if any?

Not to my knowledge. My kids use the sphero and love it, but they control it with an iPad or their phone.

Does with work with Android phone or only Apple?

Android devices, while having OS 4.4.2 or higher, must have all of the following hardware in order to operate with BB-8:*Bluetooth LE (4.0)*Microphone*Distinct multi-touch landscape touchscreen*Hardware sensors including gyroscope and accelerometer*WiFi capabilities

Buggy unworkable software. Lack of documentation.

Could not get the product to work with my laptop. Had to connect with my mobile phone before it can update itself. I don't want to use this product with my phone! Tried to troubleshoot the product but there was hardly any documentation about it at all. Tried getting more information from their uploaded videos but they seem to be more marketing rather than tangible information. I am a software developer by trade and it's really disappointing that a company which teaches STEM can't even build a usable product themselves.

Cher mais pratique

Cette protection me parait indispensable pour jouer avec la sphéro. Je déplore qu'elle ne soit tout simplement pas inclue dans la boite Sphero. Sans cette coque, la Sphero glisse sur le carrelage, c'est moins évident pour un enfant.

Santa needs to upgrade his tech knowledge

Excellent fun present for an 8 yr old girl and Dad. Much entertainment coding Mums tablet to swear when the Sphero crashed into things. Word of warning, check the compatibility of your Bluetooth- the ipad2 doesn’t connect for example, you’d think Santa would have known that the silly old fool.

Le prime basi per imparare a programmare

Consigliatissimo per bambini ragazzi! È un gioco che però insegna le basi della programmazione a blocchi.. facile e divertente si può comandare via telefono con l’apposita app. E se si vuole switchare c’è anche la modalità remote control sempre da cellulare. Un po’ costoso ma sicuramente va visto come un sussidio educativo più che un giocattolo
