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

Brilliant. Basically making slime and learning about colour but my 11 year old loved it. Good set up which was easy to use. Looks like a proper lab if you’re 11 and never been in a lab. Would love more versions of this Cath · ryman.co.uk
