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 robotic platform kit allows you to customize the length and width of your chassis, making it a great choice for projects that have specific size requirements! As with our standard kits, this custom size platform allows you to build your kit from the ground up! That means you can choose the type of motors, wheels, controllers, batteries, and other components to meet your needs.

All of our robotic platforms are designed and fabricated in North Carolina, USA and are fully supported by SuperDroid Robots, an industry leader in robotics.

Specifications

• Motors: This kit supports IG42 Gear Motors. We offer motors with a variety of different output speeds for maximum customization.
• Wheels: We currently offer standard 6"/10" pneumatic tires, 10" heavy duty traction, and 4" omni wheels.
• Battery: We have several battery options available, including SLA (Sealed Lead Acid), Li-Ion, and LiFePO4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate).
  • You can select to add a customized battery mount to the chassis.
  • You can choose to include a battery charging system for the battery system.
• Motor Controller: We have a wide variety of motor controllers to select from, including RoboClaw, PWM, Sabertooth, and RoboteQ.
  • You can choose to include encoder input from the motor controller for telemetry and/or speed control.
• RC Controller: You can choose from several Spektrum and FLYSKY controllers that range from 6-8 channels.

Custom Size Chassis

The chassis consists of motor mount tubes and a bent aluminum base plate. On the opposite side of the motor mount tube is a bearing that takes the majority of the load off of the motor shaft.

Your chassis length is determined based on the distance between the center of your axles. To accommodate for the motor housing, the chassis will extend 2 inches beyond this length on both sides. In other words, the total length of your chassis will be 4 inches longer than the length you provide.

Your chassis width is based on the width you provide. It does not include the width of the wheels, just the chassis. Your chassis width is impacted by the gear motors you choose, as well as if you choose to include encoders. The slower the RPM or the larger the motor, the wider the chassis has to become.

• Standard size: 22" (18" center to center) x 15" wide
• Length Minimum/Maximum Range: 18" - 24"
• Width Minimum/Maximum Range: 15" - 22"

If you don't choose a custom length or width for your kit, we will use our standard chassis dimensions. If you need Longer/Wider dimensions than listed above, additional supports and gussets will have to be added. Contact us for more information.

Available Options:

There is an option listed below for a cover plate made out of .125" Aluminum. It includes two pieces of 1" aluminum extrusion rail mounted to the top side of the plate. This gives a good place to mount a payload without having to drill any holes.

Encoders and selecting the best fit.

• Choosing encoder options for Robot Kits
• Encoder CPR (Counts per Revolution)
• Encoder Support Overview
• RoboteQ XDC2460 controller: Speed controller with encoder input

All other options are included below as a menu to build your custom robot.
