Sphero wants you to hack its new RVR robot
To recap
While it may seem like an expensive toy, the RoboMaster S1 is a lot of fun and teaches some valuable basics in coding. Gone are the days when kids’ coding lessons meant pressing some direction buttons on a Roomba-lookalike robot in a school classroom. With DJI’s robot, you can teach a robot new tricks, how to respond to different visual cues and even get it to play a tune.
