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 is our second generation of the LT-F robot. It is the same chassis that we offer with our tactical LT2-F robot. The LT2-F treaded robot is lighter weight than the HD2 Treaded robot. This package is the same as the LT2 Treaded Robot, but has the addition of a flipper/stabilizer arm on it allowing it to climb and descend virtually anything. The LT2-F Treaded robot is an affordable treaded robot that can be easily transported (weighing about 48 lbs) and is small and can handle most terrains with its aggressive all-terrain treads. Several different motors, battery options, and motor controllers can be selected with this robot. This item does not qualify for free shipping.

The robot is a lightweight tough robot that can go over and under many obstacles. The treads are driven by powerful IG52 gear motors with #25 chain with a 1:2 reduction to the ~ 7 inch front wheels. The robot axles are solid high strength steel so they will not bend when the robot is dropped. The flipper arms are driven with a powerful IG52 gear motor. We have designed this robot to be as simple as possible without compromising its strength, durability, or functionality. The LT2-F tactical version of this robot has been NIST tested and qualified. This chassis also uses our LT2 track and wheels, which will not derail under any circumstance. See our LT2/LT2-F Bloodhound for a tactical solution using this robot chassis.

Available Options

While we recomend the standard configuration, if you would like to customize your robot we offer many options you can choose from at the bottom of the page. The TP-210-102 kit allows for a wide range of customizations based on your needs. We offer a variety of motor controllers, batteries, RC controllers, and encoders so you can configure the robot to meet your requirements. The weight of the robot will vary depending on how the robot is configured (batteries are the main cause of this). You can find detailed specs such as weight and dimensions by clicking on the component and viewing its product page. For help selecting components, read the information below.

• Gear Motors: Choose from our selection of different RPM gear motors. As you go down in RPM, your payload capacity will go up but your speed will go down. As you go up in RPM, your payload capacity will go down but your speed will go up.
• Batteries: We offer two types of batteries with this kit: Lead Acid and LiFePO₄. The lead acid batteries are good batteries but heavy and do not provide any internal circuit protection. The LiFePO₄ batteries are much lighter, have internal circuit breakers to prevent damaging themselves, and can survive more charge cycles.
• Motor Controllers: Choose from our selection of RoboteQ, Sabertooth, and RoboClaw motor controllers. In most configurations, a single motor controller is all that is required. The left side motors share a channel while the right side motors share the other channel. We offer the option to double the quantity in case you require encoders on all four motors.
• Encoders: This robot can be configured with encoders used for odometry and/or speed control. They are very useful if you are planning on making your robot autonomous or semi-autonomous. For encoders, select motors with encoders and the appropriate motor controller and encoder hookup. Linked below in the documentation and support section are some resources that help in selecting encoder options.
• Flipper Motor Controller: We offer SyRen or RoboClaw motorcontroller options for controlling the flipper arm.
• RC Controllers: We offer several options for controlling your platform. If you are planning on using this robot with a microcontroller, Wi-Fi control package, or similar device an RC controller is not necessary.
• WiFi Control Package: We offer an option to control your robot with a WiFi package. If you wish to have encoder feedback, there is an option for WiFi Package with encoder input.
• Tracks: We offer one style of tracks with this robot. These heavy duty tracks can tackle any terrain.
• Paint: You can choose to paint this robot package if you would like. Our standard color is black bedliner but you can customize this if you would like.
• Assembly: You can choose if you'd like our team to assemble the kit prior to delivery. We offer several different assembly options. If you have selected encoders and want assembly you must select the assemble with encoders in the options section. The in-house assembly will typically add a week to delivery.
