Mini ATR RC Kit

This is our RC kit for the mini ATR. It is a smaller version of our ATR that does not have the same clearance or capacity, but performs exceptionally well. The wheel axles are mounted directly to the motor output shafts. The motors allow this robot to over most terrain, yet its size makes it very maneuverable indoors. The kit provides you with what you need to make a great All-Terrain robot. There are a lot of options and additions you can select, the links of all the items are included below. Follow the links for details of each item and option.

The base is 10" x 8.5". The sides of the aluminum base are 1.75" high (bottom edge to top surface). When used with the 4" Shaft and wheel sets it has a ground clearance of about 1 1/4". The width with the wheels is about 14.5" and the length is about 12.5". If the top platform is used the overall height works out to be about 5.75".

When you purchase this kit you will get access to our assembly manual that contains color images and step by step instructions, or you can opt for us to assemble it for you.

Standard Items:

The following items are standard with this package.
Mini ATR Aluminum Welded Base - TD-030-000 (Qty 1)
ATR Shaft and 4" Wheel Set - TD-031-000 (Qty 2 sets)
15 Amp Connector Set - TE-027-015 (Qty 2)
ATR and Vectoring Robot Hardware Kit - TD-021-000 (Qty 1)

Motor Options:

Two different motors work with the mini ATR. The smaller motors work great, but if you desire more power you can select the larger IG32P motors.
24VDC 195 RPM IG32 Gear Motor - TD-014-195 (Qty 4)
24VDC 190 RPM IG32P Gear Motor - TD-015-190 (Qty 4)

Battery Options:

For the motor batteries, we recommend our 1500mAHr batteries.
24V 1500 mAHr NiMH Battery Pack - TE-022-020 (Qty 1)

RC Controller:

For the RC Controllers, you can choice any of these controllers. You need 2 channels to control the robot drive functions. If you plan on adding camera pan and tilt or other options you should get the 4 channel controller. If you want to control lights or other functions, you should get a higher channel radio. Our digital QPCM (Quick Pulse Controlled Modulation systems offer better stability around noisy motors and feature fail safe modes for when the receiver is out of range.
Hitec Ranger II 2 Channel 75MHz RC Controller Pkg - TE-033-002
Hitec Laser 4 Channel 75MHz RC Controller Pkg - TE-033-004
Hitec Laser 6 Channel 75MHz RC Controller Pkg - TE-033-005
Hitec Optic 6 Transmitter w/spectra and QPCM Rx - TE-059-006

RC interface package:

The RC interface takes the RC receiver signal and drives the motors, servos, outputs, etc. We now offer different options for this control interface. The MD22 Devantech Dual Motor Driver is an all in one package. It interprets the RC signal and has a 2 channel motor controller on board. We have also developed our own RC interface board. The RC interface offers better noise filtering and lost signal handling dramatically increasing the effective range and control over the MD22. Additionally it drives relays so you can drive high current loads with the RC such as a motor (fwd/off/rev) and or lights (on/off)

RC interface option 5:
	Same as Option 2, with assembly of 5V regulator board
RC interface option 6:
	Same as Option 3, with assembly of the 2 PWMs and RC Interface Controller Board

MD22 Electrical enclosure and cooling:

If you are going to use the MD22 controller option, we recommend an enclosure with a cooling fan. It protects the motor controller, it cools the motor controller, and it helps isolate electrical noise. The electrical box comes with the optional fan mounted.
Box 5 x 2 1/4 x 2 1/4 - TE-026-002 (with mounted fan) (Qty 1)

Acrylic Top Cover/Upper Deck:

This acrylic cover (as shown in the picture) fits over the aluminum base and provides protection to all the electronics below or can be used as an upper deck for mounting additional equipment.
Mini ATR Acrylic Cover - TD-032-000 (Qty 1)

Motor Electrical Hookup:

We strongly recommend wiring the 4 motors with our electric motor hookup kit, or you can use your own wire and noise suppression.
Electric Motor Hookup Kit - TE-024-000 (Qty 4)

Electrical Power Hookup:

If you want an on/off switch and all the fuses and wires to wire up all the robot electrical circuits, we have an electric power hookup kit that works great.
Electric Power Hookup Kit - TE-025-000 (Qty 1)

Assembly:

You receive access to our fully illustrated manual that helps you assemble the robot. If you wish you can have us assemble the robot.

This kit does not include a microcontroller, sensors, or RC unit. See our ATR Robot Building Page for options and links to our controllers, sensors, and controller batteries. Don't forget to get your battery chargers either. The different chargers are explained on our ATR Robot Building Page also.

This item usually ships within 1-2 days depending on volume and assembly options.
