You can save these programs in your account, but if you login via the web, use a Mac or Windows Sphero Edu app, use the old (non-Android) Sphero Edu app on a Chromebook, or a version before 6.3.0 on iOS and Android, you won't see the virtual robot programs.

Programs created with the virtual bot type can only be seen on the iOS and Android version 6.3 clients.The beta release is not designed to be a high-fidelity physics simulation - but hopefully it's fun! It can also have some varying results going over the ramps. The virtual robot can knock over the pins and cones with ease.The virtual robot may move a slightly different distances for the same roll command. Within the virtual world, running the same program can produce slightly different results.This is designed to be generally accurate, but many things can affect both the virtual robot and a real Mini. So, if your roll command caused the virtual robot to move four squares on the grid, a real Mini should move roughly 40cm running the same command. Each square on the virtual world grid correlates to roughly 10cm in the real world if the program was run on a Sphero Mini.Below is an example of what this might look like. You can change the view by pinching to fingers together or spreading them apart on the screen to zoom out or in, and you can rotate the view by moving one finger horizontally. The "X" will exit the world and get you back to your program. The "reload" symbol will load the world again, so you can run the program again. The green button in the middle will start the program. When the virtual world successfully loads, your screen should look like the image below (these screenshots are from the Android Sphero Edu app - iOS is slightly different). If you see this, you'll have to try testing out the virtual robot on another device. You may see a message saying your device does not support it or you may see a "script error" message. Also, not all devices can display the virtual world. Note: You must have an active internet connection to use the virtual robot. The virtual world is being downloaded during this time to display on your device. When you tap the Start button, you should see a white screen with a loading animation circling in the middle. To do that, tap the Connect to Robot button. NOTE: You can run the same program on a physical Sphero robot as well. When you're done with your program, you can tap the "Start" button on the left to run it on your virtual robot. The sound block has fewer options than the standard one in Sphero Edu, and the LED block works best if you set the colors to either 255 or 0. The "roll" block moves the robot, the "main LED" block changes color, etc. You create programs just like you would for any Sphero robot. The goal of the beta is to keep the experience as simple as possible, so Draw and Text programming are not supported. If you've used block programming in Sphero Edu before, you will notice that the programming screen for has only a few blocks. Just enter a title and tap the "Create" button.Īll programs for the virtual robot are block programs in the beta release. When you select this option, all of the robot choices are disabled. When creating a new program, you will see the "Virtual Bot - BETA" option under program types at the top right. You can send us feedback in two ways:Įmail us with feedback or any errors you find at: our 2-question feedback survey. The feature is being released in beta to gather feedback. The goal of this feature is to let users create programs for Sphero robots even if they don't physically have a robot. NOTE: The Android Sphero Edu app works on most recent Chromebooks. On the latest releases of the iOS and Android Sphero Edu apps (version 6.3.0), there is now a capability to create simple block programs which control a graphical robot displayed on the screen of your app. Verifying your Child's Sphero Edu AccountĬhanging Text-To-Speech Settings for The "Speak" BlockĢ years ago by Brian Kellner Sphero Virtual Robot Beta
