Sphero BOLT vs Sphero Mini vs Sphero SPRK ?

That's a great question, and you aren't the first to ask it. We've got a comparison guide here that point out the differences between the Bolt, the SPRK and the Mini.

The Sphero Bolt

Built to shine - With an integrated 8x8 RGB LED grid, you'll be able to code your Bolt to display live data and react to other sensors and information.
Onboard Movement sensors - Keep track of speed, orientation, acceleration and direction with the in-built sensors. You can easily use this data in your code to have to the robot do smart stuff!
Code friendly - Use block-based programming like Scratch as well as more advanced options like JavaScript to code your Sphero Bolt.
Cross-platform, Cross-Curriculum, and STEAM-centric Activities - This really does speak for itself. The activities in the Sphero EDU app are wide-reaching across almost every part of the modern cirriculum. See the categories and stages covered here.
Endurance - With a 2 battery life, the Sphero Bolt will last any class session. Plus the induction chargers are a great way to ensure the device is charging when not in use.
Durable - Sphero make a point of creating cases for their robots that last. The Bolt has a durable, waterproof, UV-resistant polycarbonate shell. It's rock-solid and scratch (the physical kind) resistant!
BOLT to BOLT - Infrared communication allows for new games and advanced movements (You can swarm your Spheros!)
Compass Sensor - Auto aim your robot thanks to the built-in compass.
Read the environment - An ambient light sensor allows you to program based on your room’s brightness.

Quick Start Guide for Sphero BOLT

So, it's got all the bells and whistles. But how do you get it going when you get it out of the box? Fully-charge the robot first of all (takes around 2 hours to full charge) and download the app while you wait. Once it's topped it, pair it with the app and get started developing code and working through the activities online.

There's a quick start guide available for all Sphero's that illustrates this simplicity well.
