DESCRIPTION

  • GO-ANYWHERE, DO-ANYTHING PROGRAMMABLE ROBOT: Meet the Sphero RVR, our most versatile coding robot yet, packed with a diverse suite of sensors and built for customization. Drive RVR precisely and accurately right out of the box – no assembly or complicated setup required.
  • DRIVE IT: RVR’s powerful motor, all-terrain treads and high torque give you the freedom to drive just about anywhere. This advanced tank-style robot is packed with on-board sensors including a color sensor, light sensor, IR, accelerometer, and gyroscope.
  • PROGRAM IT: Use the Sphero Edu app to code RVR with Draw & Drive, Scratch blocks, or JavaScript. RVR is highly hackable with SDK and API libraries for more advanced hackers and makers, making it the ultimate programming robot for coders of all levels.
  • BUILD ON IT: RVR’s customizable expansion plate is designed to work with most third-party hardware including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit, and Sphero’s own littleBits. A removable, rechargeable, high-capacity battery delivers enough juice to power RVR and anything you add to it.
  • INSPIRING THE CREATORS OF TOMORROW: Founded in 2010, we set out to redefine creative play experiences with the original Sphero app-enabled robot ball. Now, with our undeniably cool fleet of programmable robots and educational tools, we're inspiring a new generation through hands-on applied learning of coding, science, music and the arts.

What can I do with my RVR?

  • Drive - Drive around in the Sphero EDU app using a joystick
  • Program - Use programming blocks or javascript to control RVR in the Sphero EDU app.
  • Create - Attach things to the top of RVR to really bring it to life. The dev plate and roll cage allow you to easily attach things to RVR, everything from action figures to electronics projects.
  • Make - Use the Sphero SDK (http://sdk.sphero.com) to connect RVR to your electronics projects using platforms like Raspberry Pi, Arduino and Microbit.
