If assembly is chosen as an option below, this item will not qualify for free shipping.

Description:

This is a configurable robot kit with selectable options at the bottom of the page. The options are pre-selected to reflect our recommended configuration but can be changed to suit your needs.

This All Terrain Robot (ATR) is designed and fabricated in North Carolina USA and fully supported by SuperDroid Robots, an industry leader in robotics. This is a 2WD robot that uses our IG42 motors and can use 6 inch tires, 10 inch standard tires, or 10 inch tiller tires. It uses our motor mount tubes to mount two IG42 motors and a single ball bearing to take most of the load off of the motor shaft. A single caster is mounted in the rear of the robot. The robot uses differential steering (movement is based on two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the robot body. It can thus change its direction by varying the relative rate of rotation of its wheels). The 2WD robot is excels at turning with heavy loads and on high friction surfaces where a 4WD robot might have trouble. See our ATR page for more details about our All Terrain Robots. If you need this robot customized beyond the provided options below, Contact us.

Available Options

(Selected below)

The standard items and options are listed below. They are listed as links and can be clicked to view further details. We offer many different motors, motor controllers, batteries, etc. so you can configure the robot to your exact needs. If you change to a different motor voltage, be sure you select the correct batteries and motor controllers. The weight of the robot, its capacity, speed, etc. depend on how the robot is configured. The item details of the options listed below will specify weights, sizes, etc. The lower RPM motors have lower speed, but more torque for easier turning. The default options listed below are what we recommend as a good starting point. Contact us if you need help selecting options or need custom configuration.

This robot can be configured with encoders used for telemetry and/or speed control. They are very useful if you are planning on making your robot semi-autonomous. Our motors use hall-effect encoders.

*These are standard items that are required. They are checked and grayed out indicating that they are not optional and cannot be unchecked

*These are the standard included items for this robot kit, please leave all of them selected unless you are sure you do not need them

*Select between 6" and 10" wheels

*The chassis will support any of our IG32 or IG42 (75RPM and above) gear motors with or without encoders listed below. We recommend the IG32P or IG42 gear motors.

*The chassis is designed to hold two 7Ahr sealed lead acid batteries or the K2 12.8V 9.6Ahr LiFePO4 Battery Packs, but if desired you can use your own batteries and mounting hardware.

*Select whether or not you would like to purchase battery brackets for your selected batteries

*Select this option if you want us to include an appropriate charging system with your selected robot batteries

*Any of the listed motor controllers will work, however the chassis is designed with predrilled holes for our PWM motor controllers. See our support page for help selecting the correct motor controller.

*Encoder Options: Be sure to read the post on choosing encoder options (linked in the description above) before selecting any of the following components.

*RC Controller Option: Select the type of RC Controller you desire to control the robot. If controlling with a microcontroller, etc., then select no RC controller.

*Choose if you would like an upper deck for more room to mount electronics

*The wheelie bar prevents the robot from tipping. It is useful especially for a faster robot.

*This robot comes in kit form. If desired you can select the option for us to assemble it.
