Sphero Programming Home Base

The Sphero Programming Home Base enables pupils to program the Sphero robot accurately across a track. The Base helps the Sphero to have a fixed starting point at the beginning of the track and a steady direction. This makes it possible for the pupils to repeatedly test and further develop their program. A simple solution with a great impact.

With the aid of the SPRK Lightning Lab app of Sphero it is possible to program the track for the Sphero. This is a very attractive way of learning how to program. In order to let the robot roll to the end of the track successfully, the pupils have to test, evaluate and adapt their program several times. It is of great importance that each of the attempts the robot has the same starting position and is aimed in the same direction. The slightest difference in position or direction will have great consequences for the program from the first meters and curves on. With the Sphero Programming Home Base the pupils can put the robot in the exact same starting point and aim it right. The Sphero Programming Home Base can easily be taped or fixed on the start of the track.
