Vectoring Robots

|
|
|
A variety of wheels can be coupled with a variety of motors and frame sizes to yield the right robot for your application. The frames are laser cut aluminum and/or acrylic with predefined holes for OOPics, speed controllers, cameras, sensors, etc. Your robot can be outfitted with large super-swamper tires that get great traction, see the videos below.
|
By changing the directions and speeds of the motors the omni-wheels will cause the robot to vector. You can still turn if you wish, but if the robot is going straight forward and encounters an obstacle, no need to turn right - just drive/vector to the right!�� See the videos below. The frames are laser cut aluminum and/or acrylicwith predefined holes for OOPics, speed controllers, cameras, sensors, etc. You can get the frames cut for three wheels or four.

There are a lot of other people selling Robots. We encourage you to look closely at them and compare.
- Our Frames: Our
frames are aircraft aluminum. They are laser cut then fully welded and gusseted. They can handle virtually anything you dish out to them. They are not light gauge sheet metal or plastic.
- Our Wheel mounts: With the exception of the mini ATR, our wheels are mounted on shafts that are supported by heavy duty sealed ball bearings. The deluxe and Heavy Duty ATRs have two bearings per shaft. Our competitors just mount the wheels to motors; motors are not rated to handle any significant load or impact when configured like this. Don't be embarrassed by getting a robot whose wheels fall off...
- Our Gear Motors: We use 24VDC planetary gear motors with steel gears. 24VDC equals more power at less current. Our gear housings are very stout and can take the abuse. We tested other gear motors and sometimes did not even get a full battery charge before the motors were smoked or the plastic gears or sintered metal gears were wasted...
- Our Support: We are not "Fly by night". You need support, call us or email us. We are here to help you! Our website has more than 500 web pages filled with information about our products. When you purchase any of the ATR packages you get access to download our full color highly illustrated detailed manuals.
- Our Knowledge: We love robotics, its what we do. We will be glad to help you with your needs whether its a custom robot or standard kit.
Enjoy! |
