A Medium for Makers

RVR is more than just a fun, programmable robot... We’ve added some incredible features that open up a world of possibilities for anyone ready to take their creativity to the next level.

Think of RVR as the ultimate mobile canvas for your creativity. Build the robot of your dreams and then program it with the Sphero Edu app -- the only limit is your imagination (and possibly physics). Chances are, if you can hack it, RVR can do it.

Highly Expandable

RVR’s 4-pin UART expansion port is designed to work with most 3rd party hardware, including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit and more. Just imagine what you can build on top of RVR… add a robotic arm, throw on a camera, create a patrol bot, and so much more.

Diverse Sensors

RVR’s onboard intelligence includes a new color sensor, plus a light sensor, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope, and a removable, rechargeable battery that delivers enough juice to power RVR and third-party hardware.

Responsive and Rugged

A powerful motor, all-terrain treads and plenty of torque give you the freedom to drive RVR just about anywhere. RVR also features a highly accurate, professional-level control system that won’t be deterred by obstacles or uneven surfaces.

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
