Sphero Mini Soccer – Coding Robot Ball for Kids & Teens (Ages 8+) | Bluetooth Education & Games

Compact coding robot ball for curious minds

The Sphero Mini Soccer packs rich features into a ball-sized package you can hold in one hand. With a built in gyroscope, accelerometer, and color changing LED lights, this Bluetooth enabled robot becomes a versatile platform for exploration, play, and hands on coding.

Out of the box, you get an engaging obstacle course setup and multiple ways to interact with the ball: drive and kick with the Kick drive feature in the Sphero Play app, or use the ball as a game controller for arcade style challenges. One hour of play time means plenty of chances to experiment, iterate, and discover new ways to play.

Three ways to play beyond the basics

Drive and Kick mode lets you navigate courses and score goals. The 8 traffic cones included help you set up DIY obstacle courses right out of the box.

Each session promotes fast feedback and hands on experimentation.

• Game controller mode turns the ball into a responsive controller for arcade titles, boosting hand eye coordination.
• Compact size makes it easy to play in small spaces or during travel.
