With a striking LED matrix and advanced sensors, the Sphero BOLT app-enabled robot provides endless opportunities to be creative and have fun while learning.

BOLT also features infrared communication, allowing your robot to "talk" with other BOLTs. Equipped with Bluetooth SMART and a strong, scratch-resistant shell, this robot's brawn matches its brilliance.
