## Project ideas

- A programmed maze route

- A rolling game with custom light feedback

## What you need

- Sphero Mini, charger, Bluetooth and a device supported by the current Sphero Edu app.

- A laptop and coding agent for writing and reviewing your project

## Compatibility and cautions

- Check current desktop and browser compatibility before buying. The robot needs a paired device; this is not a general Python computer. Start on a clear floor, not a desk edge.

- Documentation reviewed, not hands-on tested by Atoms for Agents. Generated code needs review before it controls real hardware.

## Planning notes (not a replacement for the original technical instructions)

1. **Confirm the exact model**: Match the hardware label and bundle to the linked documentation. Sphero Mini, charger, Bluetooth and a device supported by the current Sphero Edu app.

2. **Prove the documented connection**: Follow the original guide and run its smallest supported example before asking an agent to extend it. Check current desktop and browser compatibility before buying. The robot needs a paired device; this is not a general Python computer. Start on a clear floor, not a desk edge.

3. **Build one useful behavior**: Start with a programmed maze route. Add logging, sensible timeouts and a manual off switch. Programs run through the supported Sphero Edu environment with a Bluetooth connection.

## Coding-agent project brief

Help me plan a programmed maze route using Sphero Mini robot. Read https://sites.google.com/sphero.com/sphero-edu-javascript-wiki first. Confirm my operating system, exact model, firmware and required accessories. Use only documented capabilities. Start with the smallest reversible test and ask before moving hardware, flashing firmware or changing credentials. Check current desktop and browser compatibility before buying. The robot needs a paired device; this is not a general Python computer. Start on a clear floor, not a desk edge. Keep secrets out of public code.
