Thames & Kosmos Robotics: Smart Machines - Super Sphere STEM Experiment Kit | Build & Program a 9-inch Robotic Sphere + 6 Other Robot Models | Basic Coding | Color Manual | Requires Tablet, Smartphone is only $22.41.

It's a good robotics kit that kept my 9 year olds engaged for a good bit. If your kids like technic, the connectors are pretty similar. It's not Lego boost but at this price. It's a good toy

Almost pulled the trigger until I read the reviews. Seems to be a gamble if it will work or not and won't be gifted until the return period is over, not going to take a chance. Thanks anyways OP, it looks interesting.

it's a good point, but that reviewer paid $100 for it. these third party apps are usually poorly made, and it might not work on some devices. for $22 i'll take the gamble

If my 14 year old nephew doesn't like it, his 66 year old uncle will be happy to take it back. Thanks, OP.
