Deluxe All Terrain Robot Kit

This is our Deluxe ATR kit. It is an extremely rugged well built robot. It was originally designed as a water tight robot to go into mines. The robot is entirely enclosed and can be used in all weather conditions. The wheels are axle mounted and supported using two sealed ball bearings. Each of the four axles are driven by a large and powerful IG42 Gear motor via a cogged timing belt to yield a very smooth and slip free mode of operation. The ends of the shafts are exposed on the inside if you wish to mount encoders to them. There are side access panels that allow easy assembly of the motor and belts and adjustment of the belt tension. The motors and transmission allow this robot to climb walls. The wheels of this robot are our Tamiya 6.75" Dia. All-Terrain Tires. The wheel hubs have a hex coupling that matches to our axles for a slip free engagement. The robots dimensions are ~22.75" wide and ~19.5" long (wheel to wheel edge). The robot has a ~2.5" clearance. The height of the robot is ~7.5" from the ground, with the camera dome, ~10.5" with the roll bar, ~12". The chassis is ~14.5" wide x ~17.75" long.

The frame is made of 1/8" thick aircraft grade aluminum. The design uses all laser cut parts with mortise and tenon design for precise alignment and mating of the parts. The covers are tinted acrylic that is also laser cut to match the holes of the mating flanges that are tapped after the laser cutting. A galvanized metal cover for shielding EMF is provided for going over the four motors which are mounted in the center. A middle tray is also provided that mounts on top of the motors for mounting your batteries and/or electronics too. The chassis is completely welding using TIG and MIG. Gaskets are also provided for sealing the acrylic covers.

The kit provides you with what you need to make a great All-Terrain robot. Below are many options to make the robot a RC unit, or just power it with PWMs and use a microcontroller. We include a bunch of hardware and electrical wires, fuses, switches, connectors, motor hookup kits, etc to get you going. We do not offer assembly as a standard option, since there are so many different configurations of the robot which would effect the assembly price. If you would like a quote for an assembled or partially assembled robot kit, let us know what options/features you want and we will provide you a quote for the assembly. When you purchase this kit you will get access to our assembly manual that contains color images and step by step instructions. 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.

For further details and descriptions of the ATR, see our ATR Robot Building Page . Additionally, you can see our general ATR page for videos of the ATR robot in action.

Standard Items:
The following items are standard with this package:
Fully welded ATR Aluminum Frame with acrylic covers, motor EMF shield, electronics/battery tray, gaskets, hardware, belts, pulleys, electrical wire, a 4PST power switch, along with the following stock items:
6.75 inch Tire Wheel Set - TAM-007-000 (Qty 2 sets)

Electric Motor Hookup Kit - TE-024-000 (Qty 4)
15 Amp Connector Set - TE-027-015
(Qty 3)
Fully Welded Chassis with acrylic covers
(Qty 1)

Motor Selection:
For the motors, the standard motor is our 252 RPM motor, but you can also opt for the 122 RPM motor if you want a more power and a less speed. We also offer the 75RPM motor for a whole lot of power and a even slower speed.
Drive Belt Selection:

We recommend the belts for the 252 RPM motor and added weight of less than 25lbs. They are smoother running, less maintenance, and easier to install. If you need to handle larger loads or are using the higher torque (slow speed) motors then you should get the chain.

The motor to wheel gearing is 14:18 for the belts. The wheels are 6.75 inches in diameter. So... 252*14/18*3.14*6.75/12 = ~350 fpm (4mph) travel speed (of course the motor speed is nominal at 24V the batteries usually run about 27 volts so the RPMs are probably faster and then if there is a lot of load on the motors they will run slower, etc. etc.) Any ways, its a pretty quick and powerful robot. The chains will give you a 10:15 ratio.

Battery Options:
For the motor batteries, you can choose for one or two of our 24V batteries. Battery life depends greatly on how you use the robot, what terrain you use it in, how often and sharp you turn (since its skid steering which draws considerable power), etc. A single battery can last from 1/2 hour to 4 hours depending on usage.

24V 3500 mAHr NiMH Battery Pack - TE-023-020
(Qty 2)
RC Controller:
If you wish to make the robot remote controlled, 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 and QPCM Rx - TE-059-006

Hitec Eclipse 7 Transmitter and QPCM Rx - TE-059-006
RC and Motor controller interface Options:

If you are going to use this ATR as a radio controlled robot you will need an RC interface. 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. Our 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)

Alternatively, if you just want to drive the robot via a microcontroller or other device, you will need motor controllers, but you will not need the RC interface. Motor controller options are listed at he bottom of this list.

Front Embedded Halogen Light Option:
This option provides you with two embedded halogen lights with a borosilicate glass cover (thermal shock resistant). This option has to be ordered at the time the robot kit is ordered since it involved a different front panel that is welded into the chassis. The option also includes a 12V 3500 mAHr battery for running the lights.
Roll Bar Utility Rack:
This option includes a simple roll bar that can be mounted over the top of the ATR. The roll bar can also be used to put external lights or antennas, etc.
Camera Pan and Tilt Option:
This option includes our camera pan and tilt system with a 6" clear plastic dome. The top acrylic cover is also laser cut to hold the bottom servo of the pan and tilt. This options does not include a camera since we carry so many different ones. To choose a camera go to our page
Fan cooling Option:
This option provides you with cooling fans (one front intake and one rear exhaust), filter media, acrylic, hardware, etc to cool the internals of you ATR. The ATR can be run completely enclosed, but it will result in the electronics getting warm. If you plan on doing a lot of work with the ATR, have other heat generating electronics, or plan on running the motors continuously, you should consider putting the fan option on your ATR. The robot will no longer be water tight, but the fans are covered and will no let water enter during rain, etc.
Foam Filled Tire Option:
This option should be selected if you wish us to fill your ATR tires with foam. The procedure can also be done by yourself and is outlined in the ATR manual. The standard tires are pneumatic and can handle the weight of the deluxe ATR with no problem, but if you want to add a bunch more batteries, or other equipment, or if you don't want the tires to give during impact you can fill the tires with foam.
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. Let us know what options you want and we will provide you a quote.

See our ATR Robot Building Page for additional options and links to our controllers, sensors, and additional batteries. Don't forget to get your battery chargers either. The different chargers are explained on our ATR Robot Building Page also.

This item is built to order and usually ships within 4-7 business days depending on volume and assembly options.
