The Sphero BOLT is an advanced robot that lets users play and program in striking new ways. It features a number of programmable sensors, including a compass, light sensor, gyroscope, accelerometer, motor encoders, and infrared communications. Through these integrated technologies, users can enjoy a new level of accuracy and control, as manually aiming their Sphero is now a thing of the past – allowing them to automatically aim and drive with precision, even follow real-world directions on a map. The Ambient light sensor also allows for programming conditions based on brightness. |
