Rover 5 4WD Tracked Chassis (Settable Ground Clearance)

• Unique and powerful 4WD tracked chassis
• Adjustable clearance
• Stretchy rubber treads
• Comes with four motors and encoders
• Speed: 1Km/hr

The Dagu Rover 5 4WD Tracked Chassis w/ Settable Ground Clearance is a unique and powerful tracked chassis. Unlike conventional tracked chassis you can adjust the clearance. Stretchy rubber treads maintain tension as the clearance is changed.

The standard chassis comes with two motors and gearboxes. Each gearbox has an optical quadrature encoder with a resolution of 1000 state changes per 3 revolutions of the output shaft (333.33 pulses per revolution). This chassis is ideal for mecanum wheels. The chassis is compatible with expansion plates for the RP5 chassis. These plates are ideal for mounting hardware on the chassis. The gearbox angle can be changed in 5 degree increments and adapters are available allowing standard RC car wheels to be fitted.

Currently manufacturer has a PCB designed to allow Arduino development boards (not included) Diecimila, Duemilanove, Nano and Mega to mount easily on the chassis. This PCB includes power supply, motor drivers with current sensing, IR sensors on each corner, 2 small breadboards, a pan/tilt kit with the IR compound eye and a large prototype area under the breadboards where custom circuitry can be fitted.
