FAA Recommendations:
-
Keep devices with lithium-ion batteries (including smartphones, tablets, cameras, laptops, and Sphero robots) in your carry-on baggage.
-
If packing in checked baggage, devices must be completely powered off, protected from accidental activation, and secured to prevent damage.
Sphero Travel Tips:
-
The Sphero team has successfully flown with all Sphero and littleBits products without issues.
-
Power Packs, including the Sphero SPRK+, BOLT, and BOLT+ Power Packs, can be safely carried on board.
Following these guidelines helps ensure the safety of your devices and compliance with airline regulations.
