BOLT to BOLT+ Upgrade ProgramUpdated 10 days ago
What is the BOLT Upgrade Program?
At Sphero, we're constantly working to improve our product lineup to support student's and teachers needs and interests. Sphero BOLT+ was designed for education based on educator feedback to enrich teaching and provide endless learning opportunities.
We are offering our educators and learners the opportunity to upgrade their loved and used BOLT robots and save on our most advanced round robot - Sphero BOLT+.
How Much Does this Cost?
For every BOLT robot you return, you can purchase a new BOLT robot for $129 ($70 off the regular price of $199).
For every BOLT Power Pack you return, you can purchase a new BOLT+ Power Pack for $2449 ($1050 off the regular price of $3499).
What About Shipping Costs?
Sphero will cover the cost of returning your old BOLT units to our warehouse. A prepaid UPS shipping label will be provided. You just need to package them up and drop them off at your nearest UPS store.
If you are returning a BOLT Power Pack, you can simply zip tie the Power Pack to ensure it stays closed, and apply the UPS return shipping label directly to the outside of the BOLT Power Pack.
You will be responsible for the shipping costs of the new BOLT+ purchase. You can estimate shipping costs using our online quoting tool.
Do I Qualify for the BOLT+ Upgrade Program?
If you are an educator and own a BOLT or BOLT Power Pack, you qualify for the BOLT Upgrade Program. Your SPRK+ robots do not have to be in working condition to qualify. View all our available Upgrade Programs here.
At this time, the BOLT Upgrade Program is only available to US customers.
If you are located in Australia, you can participate in the BOLT Upgrade Program through our trusted retailer, MacGear - please contact them here.
How Many Robots Can I Upgrade?
There is no limit to the number of robots you can upgrade. If you have one BOLT robot you want to upgrade, great! If you have a whole classroom full of BOLT robots you want to upgrade, that works, too!

I Returned My Robots. Now What?
Once our warehouse receives your old BOLT robots, a member of our team will be in touch with a coupon code you can use online for your new BOLT+ robot purchase.
How do I Use My Coupon?
If you have not placed an order on our website before, we recommend that you create an online account. This will allow you to keep track of your purchases. Additionally, if you are a tax-exempt school, you can register your online account as tax-exempt so that you can check out online without tax.
When you reach the cart, you can enter the provided coupon code to apply your discount. The coupon code will only work for the same number of robots you exchanged. If you want to purchase a lesser quantity, please let us know when we reach out with your coupon code.

I Want to Upgrade to a BOLT+ Power Pack
If you are returning individual BOLT robots, but want to upgrade to a BOLT+ Power Pack, we can apply your credit to a BOLT+ Power Pack purchase. You will earn a credit of $70 for each BOLT robot you return.
Example:
You are returning 6 BOLT robots for a credit of $70 each. This gives you a $420 credit (6 robots x $70)
You can apply the $420 credit towards the BOLT Power Pack purchase price of $3499.
Your total for the BOLT Power Pack purchase would be $3079.
Note: You can apply a max credit of $1050 towards each Power Pack Purchase.
