This arrived quickly and the packaging and the robot were like new. I charged it up and it runs well. The EDU app from Sphero is great. I am using this for home school for my granddaughter, I am using it with classes for a home school co-op, and I am also using it for robotics training for my Civil Air Patrol squadron. ha-jamja-0s25gtxx · ebay.com

I am a technology specialist at an elementary school and have been using Dash & Dot robots with my students (K-5) for the past 4 years. My students love learning to code with these robots and are eager to take on new challenges each week! These robots are durable, long-lasting and almost never glitch. They are a wonderful tool for teaching coding skills to young children. I am so surprised that AL Jacqueline A. · makewonder.com
