Mobile Virtual Player, LLC, is the developer and distributor of the mobile robotic dummy, MVP | SPRINT.
Throughout the remainder of this document the name MVP | SPRINT will be used to refer to the mobile
robotic dummy developed, manufactured and distributed by Mobile Virtual Player LLC and/or their
partners.
The MVP | SPRINT is a remote-controlled, self-righting, mobile tackling dummy that was developed to
assist in simulating real tackling and other football skills, as well as, training applications for other sports.
As developed, the MVP | SPRINT weighs 165lbs. and moves at 16 to 17 mph. The MVP | SPRINT behaves
like a human athlete in some ways, but in other ways it does not. For example, the weight of the MVP |
SPRINT is located in its base while the weight of a human is more spread out throughout the body.
Practicing football can be inherently dangerous and an environment that can cause injury to the players
involved. The introduction of the MVP | SPRINT can help make that environment safer in some ways, but it
can also add other risks. For example, the use of the MVP |SPRINT reduces the need to have player on
player contact, but there is still player on MVP | SPRINT contact and that contact can cause injury.
Therefore, teams and players need to understand that they use the MVP | SPRINT at their own risk.
We have attempted to include in this Product Manual what we have learned through the development of
the MVP | SPRINT to assist you in using the MVP | SPRINT as safely as possible.
