Sphero RVR+
Tracked robot by Sphero, Boulder, US
The RVR+ is Sphero's tracked, programmable ground robot for schools and makers, with a swappable rechargeable battery giving about two hours of use and onboard colour, light, IR, magnetometer, accelerometer and gyro sensors. It is driven and coded from the Sphero Edu app (draw, Scratch-style blocks or JavaScript) or through the public Python SDK, and a 4-pin UART port and powered USB-A port let a Raspberry Pi, Arduino or micro:bit ride on top.

Editor's notes
Unverified (free text): USD price; differences from original RVR. CONFLICT WITH TASK BRIEF: the brief classed the RVR+ as wheeled, but the fetched listing describes 'all-terrain treads' / a track drive system, so wheels_or_tracks is recorded as tracks and drive_config as tracked. The original RVR launched October 2019 at USD 249 (Wikipedia); the RVR+ release year and its exact differences (listing says 'improved' colour sensor) were not confirmed. No US/USD price fetched (sphero.com and Amazon pages not in fetchable results). links.product is the site root per Wikipedia.
