This kit uses a piece of rigid fibreglass circuit board 140(L) x 85(W)mm (max) as the vehicle chassis. It has a generous area at the front for circuit prototyping, subassembly mounting, etc. It includes 2 x drive motors, gear sets and fastener hardware. The motors share a common lay shaft but are otherwise independent. An axle with 40mm dia rubber tyres are included, as well as a sturdy ball caster which act as the 3rd wheel. The chassis could be easily extended to accommodate a second axle/wheel assembly (not included in kit).
This chassis platform could form the basis of, say, a line following robot. Kits like this solve the hard-to obtain parts for robotics projects.
• Hand tools, including a small soldering iron will be needed for assembly
• Suitable for ages 12+
