Overview
Sphero RVR robot offers a bold new take on programmable robots. It’s drivable straight out of the box, packed with a diverse suite of sensors and built for customisation. Sphero RVR provides a hackable mobile platform for beginners, educators, students and tech hobbyists.
Download the Sphero Edu app to drive or program RVR anywhere. It’s 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.
Highlights
From beginners to technical hobbyists, RVR has something for everyone

Sphero Edu
Sphero Edu is your hub to create, contribute, and learn with Sphero robots. Go beyond code by incorporating unique STEAM activities to complete with your bot.
Designed for learner progression, Sphero Edu beginners can give robots commands by drawing a path in the app for their robot to follow. Intermediate coders can use Scratch blocks to learn more advanced logic, while pros can use tex t programming and write their own JavaScript.
Sphero Edu is built for makers, learners, educators, and parents. Join the growing community and share your creations to inspire and be inspired. The interactive platform allows you to keep track of your class or group from one easy place. Anyone can save their progress, jump from device to device, and continue the discovery from anywhere. Preparing for the future has never been so fun.
SPHERO EDU FEATURES
PROGRAMS: Program your bots in 3 ways with Draw, Block, and Text modes. Start with the basics and grow.
SENSOR DATA: See location, accelerometer, gyroscope, velocity, and distance sensor data through visual graphs.
ACTIVITIES: Program a painting. Navigate a maze. Mimic the solar system. The only limit is your imagination.
