LEGO® Powered Up vs Kosmos Super Sphere

Combine this app with the LEGO DC Super Heroes App-Controlled Batmobile (76112), the LEGO City Cargo Train (60198), or the LEGO City Passenger Train (60197) (each sold separately) to operate the motorized engines via Bluetooth controls, or use your imagination and build entirely new creations using LEGO Powered Up components and bring them to life by coding them. Make your models move and respond to real-world events. The LEGO Powered Up app puts you in the driver’s seat of the awesome 4-wheel-drive Batmobile to speed through the streets of GOTHAM CITY™. Drive forwards, backwards, left and right… or pull 360-degree turns! You can even activate cool tricks and stunts as you become the Dark Knight and fight crime. You can customize and code your Batmobile tricks and choose your sounds and movements – pretty awesome! The LEGO Powered Up app also controls LEGO trains to haul goods or pick up passengers around LEGO City. You can control the speed, change directions, and bring even more life to your play with various sounds such as a whistle, passenger announcement, railroad crossing bell, and more! The Bluetooth remote control app and the remote control handset included in the LEGO City train sets aren’t compatible with older infrared remote-controlled LEGO train sets. Thanks to Powered Up components like hubs, motors, sensors, and lights you will be able to bring your customized creations to life. You can also bring your existing LEGO models to life.

For use with the “Robotics: Smart Machines – Super Sphere” robotics and engineering kit by Thames & Kosmos ABOUT ROBOTICS: SMART MACHINES – SUPER SPHERE The Super Sphere kit allows you to build and program seven amazing robots, including a spherical robot: an awesome, nine-inch-diameter, rolling robotic sphere! With this app installed on a supported Bluetooth-enabled device, you can remotely control and program your Super Sphere and other robots. Drive your robot using the remote-control interface in the app, or write programs using the easy, visual programming language in the app. The onboard sound sensor lets you program your robots to perform specific sequences of commands in response to the number of claps (or other loud sounds) that it detects. HOW TO USE: We suggest you read and follow the instructions step by step in the manual included in the kit. Here is an overview of the instructions for building and using the Super Sphere to get you oriented: 1. Download and install the app. 2. Follow the assembly instructions on page 14 to build the first model, the Super Sphere. Make sure you have inserted the batteries into the Bluetooth battery box correctly according to the instructions on page 2. 3. Shake the model until the blue light on the Bluetooth battery box turns on, indicating that the module is on. The module automatically turns off after about a minute of inactivity to save battery power. You simply have to jiggle the model when you want to turn it on again. It’s a movement-activated on-off switch! 4. Now you can connect the tablet or smartphone to the model via the free app. Follow the instructions at the bottom of page 7. 5. To drive the Super Sphere in remote control mode, follow the instructions on page 8 and the driving tips on pages 22–23. 6. To run a program on the Super Sphere, follow the instructions on page 24. For detailed explanations of how the programming mode of the app works, refer to pages 9–13. Try editing the program for Super Sphere, or writing your own from scratch. 7. Now, proceed with building the other models, one at a time, and running the sample programs given on the programming page found after the assembly. ***** Questions or suggestions for improvements: Mail to apps@kosmos.de We are looking forward to your feedback! *****
