On a full charge, the RVR will run for two hours. We recommend a quick charge 3.0/USB-PD for the fastest charge time of approximately two hours. It can take 2-12 hours to fully charge the RVR depending on the USB charger you're using. In the event you'd like one, you can also get Sphero RVR replacement batteries on our store. Place the battery back into the robot when charging is complete, locking the battery door with the RVR key by turning it clockwise. The Sphero RVR battery is spring loaded and will shoot out a bit when the latch is pressed, so make sure the battery opening is facing upward so the battery doesn't fall on the ground. Do this with the battery door facing upwards so the battery does not fall out of the robot. Press the blue battery release button once the door is open. To remove the battery from the RVR, use the battery key to open the battery door. To charge the battery, you’ll need to remove it from the robot and use the USB-C cord that’s included. We recommended charging the battery to 100 percent before powering it on for the first time. It also has a power button to turn it on and off and, unlike the SPRK+, is not waterproof! Out of the box, the RVR should come charged at 50 percent. This helps it tackle the most uneven of surfaces and rough terrain. Unlike its spherical predecessors, the RVR is shaped like a car and includes treads, torque, and a precision control system. One important feature of note is that the RVR is all-terrain. Finally, the Text level is for students who are ready to try text coding with JavaScript and syntax! They can step up to Blocks to further customize their code with drag-and-drop programming. Like with other Sphero robots, students can choose to drive the RVR or program it within one of three levels (Draw, Blocks, and Text) and there are RVR remote learning activities available too! With Draw, students can design paths for their RVR to follow. These include English, Chinese, German, French, Spanish, Korean, and a bunch more! Just remember to download the latest version of the app for the best experience. For students all over the world, the Sphero Edu app is available in 16 different languages. The Sphero Edu desktop app is compatible with Chrome, Windows, and Mac computers as well. It's compatible with iOS, Android, and FireOS for mobile devices. The robot’s name (or ID number) is on the bottom of the robot (RV-XXXX) for easy connections. The RVR is also compatible with the Sphero Play app on iOS, Android, and Kindle devices. Just like the BOLT, Mini, and Sphero SPRK+, the RVR is programmable via the Sphero Edu app. The RVR also has numerous programmable sensors, including a color sensor, light sensor, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope. It's accessible with the included key, which opens the hatch. The RVR's battery is found in the center of the robot between its two wheels (below). It supports block coding, text coding in JavaScript, and engineering applications at home or in the classroom. Since the RVR incorporates unique external components, it's generally thought of as a robot for intermediate or advanced students. In addition to the SDK, there is helpful content for getting started with the Sphero RVR available in Sphero's CS Foundations Courses (2 and 3), which can be found on our store as well. It contains tips for getting started, how-to examples, documentation, code, content, and troubleshooting tips that are useful when pairing the RVR with external devices. If you'd like to use the RVR with other hardware, like a Raspberry Bit, micro:bit, or Arduino, you'll need to use the Sphero SDK in order to begin. The robot is outfitted with a universal, 4-pin UART expansion port as well as 5V 2.1A USB-A on-board connectivity for attaching and powering third-party hardware using the RVR’s battery. Besides one RVR robot, you’ll get a removable cover plate and developer plate, a removable roll cage, a USB-c charging cord, a RVR battery key, and a removable battery. The RVR also has a removable and rechargeable battery and additional accessories can be found on our store, too. It also has a universal, 4-pin UART expansion port for connecting third-party hardware like a Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit, and littleBits.ĥ. RVR’s sensors include a color sensor, light sensor, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer, and gyroscope.Ĥ. It is compatible and programmable with the Sphero Edu app for accessible MakerEd experiences.ģ. The RVR is Sphero’s most technical robot yet, but can meet middle and high school students at various skill levels.Ģ. The RVR is Sphero’s programmable, all-terrain robot built for customization, expansion, and original inventing.ġ.
