This is our original base ATR kit fit up with double OmniWheels. It is an extremely rugged well built robot. The wheels are axle mounted and are supported using sealed ball bearings. The motors are very powerful. The base is made of aluminum that is easy to drill mounting holes for your electronics. The kit is partially assembled with the power wires, fuse blocks, motors, motor mounts, base, motor controllers, and wheels. It provides you with what you need to make a great Omni-Wheel robot. The only thing needed are batteries and controls.
The robot includes the following:
This robot is ideal for indoor and light duty outdoor activity. The ATRs steer using skid steering (differential steering). By varying the speed or direction of the wheels will allow the robot to turn. With high traction ATR tires this is difficult because the tires have to skid. Using the Omni tires allows easy turns because the wheels allow side slip. This kit should only be used on level ground. While the robot is plenty powerful to climb hills straight on, if the robot is sideways to a hill, it will side slip down the hill. We have loaded these robots up with over 100 lbs and it turned and drove very well. See our general ATR page for videos.
