Description
We've got a great new range of robot chassis kits now available at The Pi Hut, with a selection of chassis materials and wheel options to choose from.
This is the most affordable NS version with normal (N) wheels and a normal (S) chassis - great as a foundation for your first robotics project with a simple, robust chassis design and grippy traditional wheels, yet with the flexibility to choose and mount your own electronics as you like. The kit even includes some basic tools to get you started!
The kit includes everything you need for the base of your robot - just add your own microcontroller, motor driver and power/batteries.
The lightweight double mounting plate chassis includes mounting holes to accommodate a wide variety of hardware to meet the differing needs of beginners, seasoned makers, robotics competition entrants and everyone in between, with a selection of standoffs to help you mount it.
The design is open source too - head to the resources section below to download design files to make your own additions (great for those with a 3D printer!).
Note: Assembly required. Chassis kit only - microcontroller, motor driver and power source not included.
