After receiving the SPRK+ I discover that it is more than a rolling ball. You can use it as a toy for fun and for sure you will enjoy, even underwater you can enjoy it. But bigger thing is the educational robot itself: programmable, lot of features and sensors. A good tool for teaching, for learning. GREAT!
This is a great fun and educational toy for anyone no matter age or knowledge of coding because it's easy to learn and you can readily get help with anything. The LEDs are very good and look cool in the dark. The durable shell can protect it if you run it into a wall at full speed. With the maze tape that comes with it you can create a race track/maze. you can either create code to go through it slowly or you can use the drive mode to race through your track and you don’t have to be scared about going off the track and hitting anything because it can handle the abuse.
C'est un jouet amusant et éducatif pour tous, peu importe l'âge ou la connaissance du codage, car il est facile à apprendre et vous pouvez facilement obtenir de l'aide pour n'importe quoi. Les LED sont très bonnes et ont l’air cool dans le noir. La coque résistante peut le protéger si vous le passez à pleine vitesse dans un mur. Avec la bande de labyrinthe qui l'accompagne, vous pouvez créer une piste de course / un labyrinthe; vous pouvez soit créer du code pour le parcourir lentement, soit utiliser le mode de conduite pour naviguer sur votre piste et vous ne devez pas avoir peur de sortir de la piste et de frapper quoi que ce soit car cela peut gérer les abus.
Après avoir reçu le SPRK +, je découvre que c’est plus qu’une balle qui roule. Vous pouvez l'utiliser comme un jouet pour le plaisir et vous apprécierez, même sous l'eau, vous pourrez en profiter. Mais le plus important est le robot éducatif lui-même: programmable, beaucoup de fonctionnalités et de capteurs. Un bon outil pour enseigner, pour apprendre. GÉNIAL!
