Today’s Tech Thursday will cover some basic drilling and countersinking procedures. We have added a few new parts to our store to aid in building robots. We have 3/32 inch drill bits (T-023-032) that are used to drill a hole for a #2 machine screw. It is also the right size to tap a 4-40 thread. Our ATR hardware package (TD-021-000) contains #2 and #4 screws which makes a 3/32″ drill bit a...

So far we tested by driving Big Mike (290lbs) around including up a set of stairs. It is very impressive with abundance of power and torque. We will be offering this platform for our customers as a special order who want sorting bigger than our popular HD2 Tracked...

Read More »The four Mecanum wheels are each connected to a separate motor with independent control. The robot can move forward, backward and turn just like it would with four regular wheels. The configuration of rollers at 45° also allows the robot to translate sideways, and through a combination of movements, drive in any direction - even while spinning! Adjacent corners of the robot use mirrored whee...
