Q. How do you make a Sphero move?
Adding Speed We can combine a Spin block with a Speed block to make our Sphero move while spinning! This will allow us to make Sphero move in curves and circles, which we were unable to do with just the Roll block. Hint: You can use a Stop block to prevent your Sphero from rolling away after it’s finished spinning!
Q. What action makes the sphero bolt move?

Q. How do you code Sphero?
You can code Sphero robots in 3 different ways using the Sphero Edu app:
- Draw Programming: This simpler method of programming is intended for grades PK-2, and is simply named “Draw”.
- Block Programming: Intermediate coders can utilize the familiar block-based drag and drop interface.
Q. How does a Sphero robot work what makes it work?
Sphero robots have many different internal parts that make them work such as motors, LEDs, encoders, processors, a CPU and Bluetooth communication module for connecting to phones, and a gyroscope that keeps it oriented. The classic round Sphero shape is similar to a hamster ball, but is about the size of a tennis ball.
Q. Can a Sphero be programmed to roll at certain speed?
Sphero can be programmed to roll at a certain speed for a certain amount of time. You are going to be creating programs to do just that, and then measure how far it goes. By changing the speed that Sphero rolls at and the time it spends rolling, you will be able to learn about how time, speed, and distance all relate.
Q. What do you need to know about the Sphero?
The Sphero can roll at a given speed and heading for a given amount of time. • Colors. The Sphero can light up in any color. • Bluetooth. Sphero connects to devices such an iPads, iPhones, and Android phones and tablets through wireless Bluetooth connections.
