Chassis

This kit gives you the structural pieces you need to build your own 3pi+ robot. The chassis includes an integrated ball caster and battery holder for four AAA cells, a pair of 32×7 mm wheels with silicone tires, a bumper skirt, and motor clips that can be used to hold in the gear motors for operation without the bumper skirt. The chassis is designed to work with our Micro Metal Gearmotors, and you can add a 3pi+ 2040 Control Board or 3pi+ 32U4 Control Board or your own electronics to complete your robot. Motors and electronics are not included.

This kit gives you the structural pieces you need to build your own Balboa chassis with stability conversion. The chassis includes an integrated battery holder that can be configured for 4 or 6 AA cells. Two configurable gearboxes further increase the gear ratio from the required micro metal gearmotors while supporting the weight of the robot with ball bearings rather than the gearmotor shafts themselves. The chassis works with a variety of wheel sizes and micro metal gearmotors, so wheels and motors are not included; choose your own wheels and motors to personalize your robot.

Unlike the Balboa 32U4 Balancing Robot Kit, no electronics are included: this chassis is for those who want to supply their own custom electronics.

The Pololu Zumo chassis is a small, tracked robot platform that is less than 10 cm on each side, allowing it to qualify for Mini Sumo competitions. The chassis is composed of black ABS and features a compartment for four AA batteries and sockets for two micro metal gearmotors. It ships as a kit with two silicone tracks, two drive and two idler sprockets, a 1/16″ acrylic mounting plate, and mounting hardware. (Motors and batteries are not included.)

The Tamiya 70098 Universal Plate Set provides a reconfigurable platform for building your own robot chassis. The set comes with a plate with gridded mounting holes, angle brackets, and mounting hardware that lets you mount mechanical components in a variety of positions.

The Tamiya 70157 Universal Plate Set (2pcs.) provides a reconfigurable platform for building your own robot chassis. The set comes with two plates with gridded mounting holes, angle brackets, and mounting pins that let you mount mechanical components in a variety of positions.

The Tamiya 70172 Universal Plate L (210 x 160 mm) provides a reconfigurable platform for building your own robot chassis. The set comes with a plate with gridded mounting holes, angle brackets, and mounting hardware that lets you mount mechanical components in a variety of positions.

This rugged, 4-wheel-drive chassis from Dagu Electronics has independent suspension for each of its spiked 120mm-diameter wheels, allowing exceptional traction over uneven terrain, and its body is made from 2mm-thick anodized aluminum with a 10mm-pitch grid of 4mm holes, making it easy to mount electronics and accessories to the chassis. Assembly of the chassis is a simple three-step process that takes just minutes. This model is black with metallic-red hubs and 34:1 steel gearboxes on the motors.
