User questions & answers

Question:	What do you do about missing parts? Missing a M4 grub screw and I just started
Answer:	Greetings - just send an email to their tech support address. They will send you one with no issues. I had a bad camera and they sent me a new one without question.. I would purchase more things from these folks.
Question:	Can protected 18650 batteries be used (they are longer than unprotected ones
Answer:	Not easily, depending on how much longer those are (sorry, I'm unfamiliar with those, but I've read "a few millimeters" depending on circuit). The provided battery holder can possibly accommodate 1.5mm to 2mm extra, by compressing the spring more. If you use a different battery holder, be mindful that it is mounted on a 10cm wide platform between two 3-LED boards, and there seems to be another 1mm at best on each side. Of course, you could enlarge the holes where the LED boards are mounted so to move them out an another millimeter on each side... Alternatively, you could mount the holder a litter closer to the ground and let it overhang over the LED boards... you have about 2 cm between the lower edge of the LEDs and the bottom of the rear wheel platform, and then another 11-12mm to the ground. that seems plenty of clearance if you don't plan on doing rough terrain.... I sincerely hope this helps. Maybe others have a protected set at hand and can test and reply to your question.
Question:	What is the recommended battery supply voltage and current? I want to use a 7.4 5a lipo pack
Answer:	Hi, the kit comes with a battery holder for two 18650 batteries (the batteries need to be purchased separately). You lipo pack should work well, just find a different way to secure it. If you research on their website, it seems that use a GS2678 voltage regulator to step down (a PWM buck converter) to 5V a source that can be up to 25V and it can drive up to 5A loads. An alternative way to power the board (and Pi) is via the USB port on the HAT, that appears to be connected to the 5V rail. Again, look for schematics on their website.
Question:	is it include raspberry pi or do I need to buy
Answer:	Dear, the Raspberry Pi is not included.

User questions & answers

Question:	Does it come with a charger
Answer:	I’m sure wiping it with a wipe would clean it, but I haven’t had a need to was it yet.
Question:	Can you get a rubber cover for the mini
Answer:	Yes, that is why I bought them, my one year old grandson loves the count!
Question:	Will my cat break this if she bats at it on hardwoods
Answer:	Hi and thanks for your question. There are 72 tiles (36 matches) in the game. The basic play is to place all the tiles face down and mix them up. Turn over two tile s of your choice. If they match, you keep the tiles and continue your turn until you do not find a match. Then it is the next players. Continue on until all tiles are matched. The player with the most tiles at the end of the game is the winner. There are several variations that can be played to customize for younger players, or to play solo. If you have more questions about this, please feel free to email me at CustomerCare @Ravensburger.com.
Question:	Does it work with Kindle Fire
Answer:	Yes, they are easy to put on and remove... they are not like surgical gloves that you have to peel off... very tactile and very comfortable!

It helps them review what they learned in their last grade and preview their next one.

In Praise of BRAIN QUEST

Time-Tested Tools

Our learning materials have helped educate three generations of kids, creating life-long learners, and the legacy continues. Digital content, flash cards, workbooks, readers, toys and games—all are crafted through a child’s eyes, while integrating parent and teacher standards.

Writing by Hand Improves Memory

Writing in workbook pages, as opposed to typing on a computer, can help kids focus and learn. Writing by hand fires up specific areas of a child's brain, improving the ability to both remember what he or she learns and to think of new ideas.

Longer Retention

Kids and parents who use our flash cards for practice testing are using one of the most effective learning techniques available. A hundred years of research shows practice testing is highly likely to boost retention.

Reading Has Lifelong Benefits

A love of reading has been proven to have far-reaching benefits for children, emotionally and academically. And children who enjoy reading become confident readers and read more often.

Kids Love Technology

School Zone’s digital content supports children’s learning goals by enhancing problem-solving and critical thinking, as well as reinforcing skills through multisensory activities. It also improves language skills, increases motivation to stay on task, and stimulates curiosity and imagination.

Not Just for Fun

When kids play games together, they learn a healthy sense of competition and experience the joy of winning and empathy for losing. Along the way, they learn collaboration, cooperation, and problem-solving. Creative play stimulates imagination and nurtures emotional well-being.

World's Coolest Jobs

From dinosaur paleontologist and snake-venom collector, to water-slide tester, Tower of London Ravenmaster, octopus keeper and panda nanny, discover the most fun, surprising and enjoyable jobs found on planet Earth – and see just how different and amazing the world of work can be.

Kids will learn how to be:

Fascinating history

Learn all about different architectural movements and designers, from prehistory to modern-day technology and cutting-edge architecture.

Cool careers

Meet professional architects through inspiring interviews, and go behind the scenes on real architectural projects.

Planning for the future

Learn about innovations in sustainability and inclusivity, and find out how you can help build an environmentally responsible world.

User questions & answers

Question:	What raspberry pi do you use with it
Answer:	We use it with an iPad.
Question:	can RVR drive upside down if it flips over
Answer:	Hmmm. With roll bar no, becomes a stranded turtle. With build plate maybe. Very low ground clearance. My battery is dead so couldn't try it. Ask question on Twitter and tag me @stmsmakerlab for answer later.
Question:	Is this product waterproof
Answer:	Yes. It is sealed. You can operate in water. In fact in schools, there are SPRK+ swimming races.
Question:	I’m reading all the reviews and just realized not one is about the rvr. i’m on the page for the rvr so i’d think i be reading it’s review
Answer:	RVR is brand new. Not many users out in the world yet. I highly recommend. I have one. I have 10 arriving in my classroom this week. Good for newbies to experts. Nothing like it On the market. Go for it!
