This anodised aluminium chassis provides a sturdy, lightweight foundation for building your own mini robot rover. With plenty of mounting holes and slots, it's easy to configure for 2-wheel or 4-wheel designs and simple to modify by drilling or cutting.
Specifically designed to work with the Continuous Rotation Micro Servo (FS90R) or a DC motor in micro servo body. Pair with matching wheels and, for 2-wheel builds, a supporting swivel caster wheel. Add any microcontroller and motor/servo driver to complete your robot.
Key Features
- Anodised Aluminium Construction – Lightweight yet strong and durable
- Flexible Configuration – Supports 2-wheel or 4-wheel robot designs
- Abundant Mounting Points – Numerous holes and slots for motors, sensors, and electronics
- Easy to Modify – Aluminium can be drilled and cut to suit your project
- Tough and Resilient – Won't crack or break from drops and impacts
Ideal For
- Mini robot rover projects
- Educational robotics builds
- Custom mobile robot platforms
Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- DC
- DC means direct current, where electricity flows in one constant direction, as supplied by batteries, USB ports and many plug-pack power supplies. When a product specifies DC, it runs from a DC supply rather than mains AC, so you need to provide the correct voltage and polarity.
- microcontroller
- A microcontroller is a small computer on a single chip that runs a stored program and controls connected inputs and outputs such as buttons, sensors, displays and communication interfaces. In a device built around one, it is the part that executes the code and coordinates the device's behaviour.
- motor driver
- An electronic circuit that lets a low-power controller switch and control a motor that needs more current than the controller pins can safely provide. Checking motor driver support matters because pumps and motors usually cannot be connected directly to a microcontroller output.
- servo
- A servo is a motor with built-in position control, usually told to move to a specific angle by a control signal. It matters when you need repeatable movement, such as steering, arms, flaps, or linkages, rather than continuous spinning.
