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
