It charges inductively and provides about 2 hours of play per charge. The kit includes the BOLT, inductive charging base, and power adapter.
- Program the ball's movements, sensors, and LED matrix using the SpheroEDU app
- Learn coding concepts through sensor-based programming and infrared robot-to-robot communication
