TI Robotics System Learning Kit MAX (TI-RSLK MAX) Parts and Accessories

Note: This product is Pololu’s portion of the TI-RSLK Robot, which is a Texas Instruments product that TI is no longer supporting. We are continuing to make the chassis kit available for those who need replacement parts for their existing TI-RSLK robots, but we do not recommend it for new applications.

This is Pololu’s portion of Texas Instruments Robotics System Learning Kit (TI-RSLK) MAX. A TI MSP432P401R LaunchPad with custom-soldered headers (not included) is required to complete the robot.

This is the main board for the Pololu Chassis Kit for TI-RSLK MAX, made available for replacements. It ships with the single battery contacts already soldered in, so no soldering is required to use it. Four #2-56 3/16″ screws and nuts are included for mounting the board to the Romi chassis.

This replacement gearmotor for the Romi/TI-RSLK MAX has an encoder already installed. The assembly is ready to plug into corresponding headers on our various Romi electronics modules, including the Romi 32U4 control board and the Romi Motor Driver and Power Distribution Board. Two of these are included with the Pololu Chassis Kit for TI-RSLK MAX.

This bump sensor module is designed specifically for use with Romi or TI-RSLK MAX robots based on the TI-RSLK Chassis Board v1.0, and it is included as part of the Pololu Chassis Kit for TI-RSLK MAX. It features three snap-action switches with roller levers and positions them along the left front edge of the Romi chassis, allowing the robot to determine where it has encountered an obstacle based on which switches get depressed. This module ships with the switches and right-angle header pins soldered, so no soldering is required to use it, and it is intended to be paired on the chassis with the Right Bumper Switch Assembly. A kit version is also available.

A kit version is also available.

This kit contains all the parts needed to make a left or right bump sensor module for a Romi or TI-RSLK MAX robot. It includes three snap-action switches with roller levers and can be assembled to position them along either the right or left front edge of the Romi chassis, allowing the robot to determine where it has encountered an obstacle based on which switches get depressed. The only difference between right and left assemblies is the side on which the header pins get installed. Preassembled left modules and right modules are also available.

This reflectance sensor module is designed specifically for use with Romi or TI-RSLK MAX robots based on the TI-RSLK Chassis Board v1.0, and it is included as part of the Pololu Chassis Kit for TI-RSLK MAX. It features eight IR LED/phototransistor pairs that are great for identifying changes in reflectance on the ground underneath the robot (like detecting or following a black line on a white background). The sensor array offers dimmable brightness control with separate controls for the odd and even emitters, and each sensor provides an independent output that can be measured with a digital I/O. This version has extended male headers already soldered in, so it is ready to plug directly into the Chassis Board.

Empower your Romi robot to manipulate its surroundings with this robotic arm accessory kit! The kit contains everything you need to build the arm, including a micro gripper and three servos—one for controlling the height of the arm, one for controlling the tilt of the gripper, and one for actuating the gripper paddles themselves. All three servos are specially modified to provide access to their feedback potentiometers, enabling higher-level closed-loop control of all three joints.

This board is a 3-channel time-of-flight proximity and distance sensor module based on the OPT3101 IC from Texas Instruments. It emits infrared light in one of three selectable directions with its six integrated LEDs and measures distance by measuring the time delay of the reflected signal. Distance measurements can be read through a digital I²C interface. The module is designed to mount to the front of the TI-RSLK MAX robot. The combined field of view of the three sensing zones is almost 180 degrees, and the maximum range is about one meter.

This upgrade kit for the Romi/TI-RSLK MAX lets you add obstacle detection and ranging to your Romi/TI-RSLK MAX robot. It consists of three Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F Analog Distance Sensors, which have a detection range of 4″ to 32″ (10 cm to 80 cm), cables for connecting them to your electronics, and brackets for mounting them to your robot.

This 3.2″ × 2.1″ solderless breadboard has four bus lines spanning the length of the board and 30 rows of pins, enough for up to four 14-pin DIP ICs or three 16-pin DIP ICs. The rows and columns of tie points are conveniently labeled, and multiple units can be connected for larger projects. The board features an adhesive backing and eight mounting holes, providing a variety of options for mounting it to your project.

This stackable 38-pin female header features two rows of 19 pins spaced with a 0.1″ (2.54 mm) pitch. The extended pins allow multiple units to be stacked as popularized on Arduino shields. This connector is primarily intended for use with the TI-RSLK MAX robot kit. It can be soldered to a TI MSP432 LauchPad to enable plugging into the TI-RSLK Chassis Board v1.0 while still keeping the LaunchPad I/O pins accessible via the extended pins.

This connector is a single-row, 2-pin, straight female header strip designed to match 0.1" male headers. The order quantity must be a multiple of five.
