What Sphero publishes for the Mini
The Mini is a STEM kit, filed in stem kits inside kids and learning. Figures in the spec table come from the dated Sphero page named above, not from another publisher and not from an inferred test.
Sphero lists age range as 8+; contents as robot ball listed; project count as app activities listed; curriculum as coding listed.
The Amazon button is the purchase path for this page. It does not make Amazon the specification source. Where the maker page and the listing disagree, the maker page wins and the conflict is treated as a gap rather than averaged.
Does the published age range of the Mini decide a purchase?
Only as a published number. Sphero lists age range 8+. That is useful for comparison against other stem kits that publish the same field. It is not a measurement taken for this review, and this page gives the product no score.
Where to buy the Mini, and the price
The Amazon button opens ASIN B075NQK8N2, listed at about $49 on 10 September 2026. Treat the price as a snapshot. Commission on the outbound link is disclosed above the button.
What is missing from the Mini spec sheet
The table still names a gap: time per project. Those cells read as not published. Filling them from a retailer bullet would break the sourcing rule.
The price of $49 was checked on 2026-09-10. Treat it as a snapshot and use the Amazon button for the current figure.

How much does the Mini cost on Amazon?
This page recorded about $49 on 10 September 2026. That is a snapshot, not a live quote. The Amazon button opens the listing used here, in a new tab, with rel sponsored nofollow. The ASIN recorded is B075NQK8N2. Check the listing before you buy. Commission is disclosed above the button.
What specs does Sphero publish for the Mini?
Sphero publishes age range 8+ on the dated source named in the spec table. That is a maker figure, not a measurement taken for this review. Neighbouring numbers absent from the table stay unpublished rather than being copied from another site.
What has Sphero not published for the Mini?
