Sphero RVR Education 5 Pack

A MEDIUM FOR MAKERS

RVR is Sphero’s revolutionary take on the programmable robot. It’s drivable right out of the box, packed with a diverse suite of sensors, and built for customization. This robot is a hackable mobile platform for beginners, educators, students, and tech hobbyists.

FEATURES & TECHNOLOGIES

• Removable, rechargeable USB C battery allows you to recharge quickly and even add a backup battery for continued use.
• All terrain for both indoor and outdoor use allows you to take your RVR into the great outdoors, climb obstacles, and experiment in a wide range of environments.
• Advanced control system allows for extremely precise, vector-based driving. The robot even corrects for unexpected obstacles.
• Expansion Port allows users to go beyond the onboard sensors and connect 3rd party hardware like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, and MicroBit.
• Color sensors allow RVR to detect and mimic RGB values of the surface it drives over or write programming variables based on the color detected.
• Infrared sensors allow bot to bot communication, swarm programming, robot follow and evade with other RVRs or even a Sphero BOLT.
• Customizable LED lighting allows for vibrant visual feedback and customizations.
• Ambient light sensors allow users to write programming variables based on LUX value detected. Users could start a program when lights in the room are turned on or off or they could program RVR to drive when a flashlight is held up to it

Download the Sphero Edu app to drive or program RVR all over. Literally. RVR is equipped with all-terrain treads, a powerful motor, and plenty of torque so you can go faster and farther. Obstacles or uneven surfaces won’t affect RVR’s ability to drive straight, thanks to a sophisticated, vector-based control system.

But, driving RVR is just the beginning. RVR’s extremely hackable platform, featuring a 4-pin UART and an onboard power source, allows you to connect and run third-party hardware like a Raspberry Pi, micro:bit, or Arduino. Build the robot of your dreams and then program it with the Sphero Edu app. Chances are, if you can hack it, RVR can do it.

• From beginners to technical hobbyists, RVR has something for everyone
• Drive RVR right out of the box, no assembly or complicated setup required
• A powerful motor, all-terrain treads and plenty of torque give you the freedom to drive RVR just about anywhere
• RVR features a highly accurate, professional-level control system that won’t be deterred by obstacles or uneven surfaces
• Packed with sensors – colour sensor, light sensor, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope
• A removable, rechargeable battery delivers enough juice to power RVR and third-party hardware
• RVR’s expansion plate is designed to work with most third-party hardware including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, MicroBit and more
• Seamlessly integrates with our Sphero Edu app so you can start coding using Draw & Drive, Scratch blocks, or writing JavaScript
