Not sure about suggested age... 8 months to seven years? was considering for my almost nine and almost 11 year old. is this too old for this bolt?

8 months-7 Years is too young. Depending on how responsible your kid is, age 8-100000 is what I would suggest.

Will this sphero work on carpet?

Yes, the sphero bolt works on carpet. However it works better on wood and travels more distance for the same program. My daughter added a video to show the difference. check it out: https://youtu.be/ga4tAH9OPBc

Can this sphero also be driven manually using a phone or tablet? the mini has this feature and was hoping to find it on the more advanced models. thx

Yes, we use Kindles in our classroom to run all the Sphero robots, including Bolt.

Is this compatible with the normal sphero app?

Greetings - Thanks for checking. You can use the Sphero Play and Sphero Edu app with Sphero BOLT - -thanks for checking! https://www.sphero.com/about/play-app/

I want one, too!

Bought for my daughter, who loves to program it. Will need to get a second one for myself…… Too much fun! Excellent control apps and projects to try, just the right size, capabilities and sensors and it just looks “alive” as it runs around the room. Costs a lot, but about the same as a microbit, but does alot more.

Unreliable

I bought the original Sphero, it was buggy at first so I put it away for a while and got it out again a year later, it worked for a short while and then stopped working pretty soon after, so I bought the Sphero Bolt. It worked initially but my daughter got bored, it had fewer features than the original unless you want to programme it. So again it went ignored for quite a while. I dug it out the other day and charged it up. I can see it on one android phone but can't connect, and though could briefly see it on the other one, I restarted the phone as I couldn't connect and now I can't see it at all. I've tried resetting the bal but it doesn't seem to do anything.

Super !

Acheté pour initier mon gamin de 11 ans à la programmation, la boule robotique remplit le job !! Pour de la programmation est peu plus poussée, il est possible de programmer en Javascript. La Sphero Bolt est arrivée nickel, aucun problème de connexion Bluetooth avec un smartphone. Bref, un super outil ludique .

Es un robot inútil pero que despierta la imaginación a TOPE!

Muy bien presentado y empacado, muy sencillo de arrancar y de programar. Es una bola mágica, de momento parece que no es muy útil pero quien sabe.
