Schedule
- The spherical Sphero robot is about the size of a table tennis ball, but is full of technology. Two motors, a rechargeable battery, colored LEDs and a remote control module enable the Sphero to run a previously created program independently.
- The computer program is programmed on a tablet using easy-to-understand block-coding software and then transferred directly from the tablet to the Sphero Mini via Bluetooth.
Sphero Mini-Kit
The Sphero robot can be controlled via an app on a mobile phone, with the necessary data transfer via Bluetooth. In the video, a small slalom and skittle course was set up for this experiment. The aim is to knock over all 7 cones with the Sphero robot.
