## Overview

The Sphero RVR is a versatile, programmable robot designed for all levels of coding enthusiasts. It features a user-friendly setup, a customizable expansion plate for third-party hardware, and a high-capacity rechargeable battery, making it the ultimate tool for hands-on learning in coding, science, and creativity.

## Description

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. RVR is a mobile platform for hackers, makers, educators, and learners. Download the Sphero Edu app to drive or program this educational robot anywhere. 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, RVR goes where you want it to go. 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, BBC micro:bit, Arduino or Sphero's own littleBits. Build whatever you want and then take it wherever you want.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I’m reading all the reviews and just realized not one is about the rvr. i’m on the page for the rvr so i’d think i be reading it’s review ??**
A: RVR is brand new. Not many users out in the world yet. I highly recommend. I have one. I have 10 arriving in my classroom this week. Good for newbies to experts. Nothing like it On the market. Go for it!

**Q: How hard is it to connect the robotic arm to the rvr?**
A: You need to build your own. There's online solutions for uart connection, but I haven't tried it yet. Need raspberry Pi or arduino for support and tips. Lots of new support to come. RVR is a great robot.

**Q: Is this product waterproof?**
A: This product is not waterproof and should not be submerged in water. Some of Sphero's robots are waterproof - for details, please contact Sphero at support@sphero.com.

**Q: can RVR drive upside down if it flips over?**
A: Hmmm. With roll bar no, becomes a stranded turtle. With build plate maybe. Very low ground clearance. My battery is dead so couldn't try it. Ask question on Twitter and tag me @stmsmakerlab for answer later.

    Great out of the box, even better once you start hacking it!
  

*by T***2 on Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2019*

I have been a fan of the Sphero brand since they first began making remote controlled spheres.  The ability to not only control them remotely, but to program them through a variety of apps and interfaces has made them invaluable to educators interested in providing STEM experiences for their students.  The RVR is their latest offering, and once again they've created something that is fun, educational, and ridiculously hackable.The RVR is a very different form factor than their previous models.  I'll admit that I was worried about the treads getting clogged up, especially considering we have a dog who sheds in the house.  However, when we unboxed it and fired it up, we found that it didn't seem to be bothered by dirt, by dust, or by pet hair.  In fact, it rolled right over all sorts of obstacles that we put in the way.  Out of the box, it is extremely responsive, and easily controllable through the app.  We found the RVR even easier to control than previous Sphero bots due to how easy it is to identify a 'front' and 'back'.  Even young children can take the RVR out of the box and have a great time controlling it.However, that barely scratches the surface of what the RVR offers.  With the inclusion of a UART expansion port and ability to provide power to a device through USB, it is possible to add accessories, sensors, and all sorts of tech-magic to the RVR.  After reviewing ideas shared on Sphero's discussion forums, I am currently planning to add a Raspberry Pi Zero W and camera to the RVR, allowing it to serve as a remote 'sentry' while we are not at home.  I'm currently working on 3d printing a custom rig to hold them, which will be attached to the expansion shell that is included in the box.There are a lot of gadgets available for home use or in the classroom.  But I don't know of any that are as well manufactured and that have as high of a ceiling as the RVR does.  It is an open platform that is infinitely expandable.  The kids and I are looking forward to seeing just how far the RVR will take us!Disclosure:  As a frequent presenter about educational technology, I received a review unit to put through its paces.  I was asked to share honest feedback about the RVR.  The information shared here is my own personal impressions of the product.

    How easy is it is to use
  

*by L***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 17, 2019*

I love how easy to use the RVR is. All you need to do is download the free app and away you go. I teach 4th grade, so incorporating the RVR into my lesson plans allows for engaged learning, STEM incorpation, and most importantly teaches kids that school is a fun place to be. The RVR is built well and has a lot more power than what I was expecting. I especially love the roll cage and LED features. On my first day using the RVR my students made the decision to name our bot “RAINBOW” for all the different colors it can display.When I first purchased the RVR I was a little nervous on how to incorporate it in the classroom, but this was remedied as soon as I downloaded the app. I love the lesson plans on the Sphero Edu App. It makes it easy to incorporate the RVR into my classroom on a daily basis. This is a great product and I would recommend it for any teacher, parent, or child to use for entertainment and learning.

    A great addition to a Robotics classroom for middle schoolers
  

*by C***Y on Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021*

I got this for my robotics classroom and it is perfect for my sixth and seventh graders. They can play with it by using the controls or they can program it the same as they do the Sphero. They mostly use block programming, but we found the other day that you can switch to JavaScript which is great for me to extend my students as they learn and grow.  I love that one program runs all kinds of different robots. We have Spheros (Bolt, Spark +, and mini) and now an RVR,and they all run on the same program. This is great for the kids because They don’t have to learn a new program. It’s great that we can use an iPad or a Chromebook. Our school is one to one with chrome books so I don’t have to worry about having extra technology for them. I was surprised by the speed and power that it has as well as it was a little bigger than I thought it was going to be. We have not taken it outside yet but I have no doubt that it would handle outside very well. We have run into a little problem such as if the kids drive it to aggressively it gets hot and gives them a warning. I like that it gives them a warning but I am a little surprised that they’re able to make it get hot that easily. I was also surprised at how long it took to charge the battery. It takes about a full school day to charge it all the way.
