What does this mean?Pros & Cons
Pros
Sphero edu is an educational app that lets you programme the sphero robot. The robot itself is extraordinarily small and compact. Seems to do everything the full-sized one does, minus the flashing led panel.
Cons

The shell is not waterproof but it’s more durable than expected and the shell splits open only when it falls off a table at a considerable height like a dining room table

The colours of the shells are nice to look at but when you have your mini lighting up the shell meddles with the colours unless you get a white shell with your mini and ruins the light effect more than most spheros

The multiple driving modes can either be really good or really pointless
