PDF Datasheet of the HD2 Remote Surveillance Package (Updated March 28, 2012)

• Wheels supported with inner and outer race sealed ball bearings (the wheels are NOT cantilevered or direct driven from the gear motor shaft).
• Wheels are driven with powerful 52mm diameter gear motors with heavy duty #35 chains.
• The treads and four powerful motors allow this robot to ascend/descend stairs and go over most terrain.
• Robot is enclosed and can be sealed making it water tight.
• Chassis is made from aircraft grade aluminum. The design uses all laser cut parts with mortise and tenon design for precise alignment and mating of the parts. The frame is ribbed and gusseted making it very rigid. Welded construction using TIG and MIG for a solid chassis.
• It is about 38 inches long and 20 inches wide by about 9 1/2" high (tread height). There is a very large center cavity for batteries, electronics, cameras, computers, etc. Wider chassis are also available (~26” wide).
• Custom Treads with aggressive All Terrain pattern. Positive traction. The composite rubber and UHMW wheels with timed teeth that match the cutout pattern on the treads.
• Upgraded LiFePO4 power 25.6V 20Ahrs for the drive. Lithium Ion 11.1V 5Ahrs for the video and control. Provides over 1.5 hours of continuous driving under standard conditions, If driven intermittently the robot’s video and controls will last over 8 hours depending on the remote selected.
• The HD2s are made from aluminum, so they will not rust. The HD2-S comes painted flat black
• This robot is also equipped with a roll cage which includes a heavy duty frame structure bent and welded to protect top mounted camera systems from accidental roll over.  If a nose tilt camera is selected, the roll cage can be omitted to keep it low profile. 

• Multiple chargers mounted on one bracket. The chargers are for the 24V motor batteries, 12V video/control battery, and 12V control console battery.
• The chargers are fully automatic and will charge all the batteries simultaneously.
• Chargers are included in a case for easy storage and operation.

• We offer many Remotes.  Depending on budget and how you plan on using the robot you can choose the right remote. 
• The Remotes we sell include the video battery for the robot as well as the remote.  We use a 11.1V Lithium Ion 5Ahr battery in the robot for a video run time of up to 8 hours.   All remotes made 2012 and later also include a 11.1V Lithium Ion 5Ahr battery.

See our data sheet for details and pricing of the options and call us for a formal quotation. Some of the options include:

• Robot Microphone (for Audio from Robot to Remote). This add-on installs a microphone on the robot. The microphone is a high quality microphone that is meant for listening to large areas. The microphone will be mounted to the robot and the audio will be transmitted back with the video transmitter via the audio channel. The audio will be broadcast real time on the 7” Color LCD. Volume of the audio can be adjusted on the 7” monitor. The gain, etc of the microphone is set up on the microphone on the robot.
• PA System (for Audio from Remote to the Robot). This add-on allows the user to use a hand held radio to broadcast to the robot through a loud speaker PA system. Using this option along with the above microphone allows 2 way communication between the remote users and the robot.
• Lights. This add-on provides the user with an option to add remotely operated high intensity LED lights to illuminate the darkness.
• Shipping Crate. This add-on provides a re-usable foam lined shipping and storage crate. If this option is not selected the robot will be shipped in a wooden crate.
