Sphero has already made us all fall in love with its different robots that we can control with our iPhone and iPad. Its new robot, Sphero Mini, a variation of the Sphero 2.0 model, will allow us to play and learn to program in a fun way. Thanks to its two applications available in the App Store, it becomes a perfect toy for the little ones in the house and why not, for the not so little ones.
Its small size cannot fool us and hide all the technology that it includes inside: Bluetooth connectivity, accelerometer and gyroscope, LED lights, integrated battery with autonomy of 45 minutes and a speed of up to 1 meter per second. Control the Sphero Mini with gestures such as a smile or a wink, programming through games or even Javascript ... its possibilities are many at a very affordable price.
On the one hand, we have the Sphero Mini application with which we can play with this little robot by controlling it through various methods. A conventional joystick, using the gyroscope of our iPhone, slingshot or through gestures. With a smile, a wink, a tilt of the head or a frown we can make the little ball move. The cones and bowling pins included in the box will be the perfect complement to play with this robot.
El Sphero Mini is also used to learn to program with the help of the “Sphero Edu” application. It has three programming modes: by drawing, dragging blocks or entering code with JavaScript. This application can be used by both children and educators and those who want to learn to program.
This mini robot is available in Amazon at a price of € 59,99. Looking for a gift for this Christmas? It promises to be a real success for the little ones in the house.
