LittleBits RVR Topper
The new LittleBit Topper Kit and Sphero RVR Educational Robot combine all the best of Sphero and LittleBits in one easy and accessible kit that allows you to fully utilize RVR capabilities with the adaptability of littleBits to create your own inventions. For example, you can use RVRs to power your LittleBits invention and make it mobile with off-road RVRs, or program RVR IR sensors to interact with the littleBits IR remote trigger to create mazes, doors, and other inventions.
The possibilities are now endless.
LittleBits RVR Topper
- Purchase a kit through Sphero RVR and allow your groups to combine both programming and engineering design principles.
- Use the on-board RVRs to power your LittleBits invention and make it mobile with off-road RVRs.
- Program RVR IR sensors to interact with the littleBits IR remote trigger to create mazes, doors and other inventions
- Connect the new littleBits bit - micro:bit adapter to program both littleBits and RVR on the same platform - Microsoft MakeCode or micro:bit python editor
- Assign one group to programming and another to engineering and see what they can create together.
Discover below three examples of activities that can be done with the LittleBits RVR Topper kit and available on the official Sphero website:
- Back to the Future: In this activity, you will transform the RVR into the DeLorean time machine from the "Back to the Future" movie trilogy!
- Robot Wranglers: Your task is to build a semi-autonomous robot that moves in a box using the RVR Sphero and the littleBits.
- Gatekeeper: In this activity, you will use the RVR and the RVR littleBits trim kit to create and test an invention of a gatekeeper
Coding and programming possibilities
Microsoft MakeCode
Microsoft MakeCode is a free, open source platform for creating engaging computer learning experiences that support a progression path to real-world programming. Students who are new to coding can start with colored blocks that they can drag and drop onto their workspace to build their programs.
Python Editor for micro:bit
The micro:bit Python editor is designed for teachers and learners: you can easily enlarge text to share on a large screen or whiteboard, upload projects as Python text files or .HEX files ready to be flashed on a micro:bit. It also works with micro:bit classrooms.
