Rover 5 Robot Platform

If you're looking for a chassis base for your next robot, look no further than the Rover 5. The Rover 5 uses 4 independent motors, each with a hall-effect quadrature encoder and gearbox. The entire gearbox assembly can be rotated at 5 degree increments for different clearance configurations. You can even replace the tank treads with traditional wheels.

This isn't a wimpy or flimsy robot base. Weighing in at over 2.5 pounds without batteries, this base is heavy duty and can drive over quite a bit. Check the manual below for dimensional drawings.

Features:

• Adjustable gear box angles
• 4 independent DC motors
• 4 independent hall-effect encoders
• Thick rubber tank treads
• 6x AA battery holder
• 10Kg/cm stall torque per motor
