RVR’s 4-pin UART expansion port is designed to work with most 3rd party hardware, including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, micro:bit and more. Allowing you to build a wide variety of different projects from a robotic arm, camera driven robot, patrol bot, and more.
The Sphero RVR robot is equipped with a powerful motor together with all-terrain wheels to provide plenty of torque enabling you to drive your robot almost anywhere.
