Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The vehicle is controlled by your phone or tablet over bluetooth. They need to have a qr code that takes you right to the app. App is well designed, but its bluetooth connection is sometimes spotty.

Recommended for the little coder in your life. If you are an educator, this looks like it would be a very good program for a stem class. They have classroom bundles for educational organizations.

It's a bit pricey, but it's worth it if you or your child are into robotics. My only gripe is i would have preferred brushless motors. They love it, its just like the one they use in robotics at school.

Highlights

Quality

It is particularly durable and even after multiple crashes, drops, and accidents, it was unscathed and kept working.

First off, it is a very well, high quality car.

It is built like a tank and keeps unscratched despite of several drops and bumps.

First off, the only way to change it, far as i've seen, is by removing the battery and plugging in a usb-c cable into the battery.

Price

I think this is an excellent value and i would recommend.

At the time of this review, this is listed at just under $300, which for an institution teaching programming and robotics will ... Read More

The current price of ~$300 is reasonable.

A bit pricey but well worth the cost!

Competitiveness

This is another great product from sphero.

Beginners and enthusiasts alike can choose from multiple programming methods, including draw & drive, blocks, and javascript.

We do not own the rvr so we can't compare between the 2.

They include a quick start guide but it's not much, could be so much better.
