Product details

The new Sphero Mini Red packs big fun into a small, app-controlled robot the size of a table tennis ball. The mini robot can be controlled through various modes in the Sphero Mini app, similar to a video game controller: as a joystick, by tilting, or through slingshot movements. Thanks to the Face Drive feature, it also recognizes your facial expressions and can be controlled accordingly. The Sphero Mini is equipped with a small steering gyroscope, an accelerometer, and LED lights. With a battery life of up to one hour, you can now play with the little robot even longer and anywhere. The selection of games available in the app is constantly updated, providing players with new challenges.
