## Description

The Devastator is a tracked tank-style mobile robot platform built from high-strength aluminium alloy. This version 2 features upgraded metal DC gear motors for improved speed, torque, and durability compared to the original plastic-motor design, along with a load capacity of up to 3 kg. The modular wiring system requires no soldering, and the platform includes multiple mounting holes compatible with popular microcontrollers such as Romeo All-in-one, Raspberry Pi, and LattePanda. High-performance suspension helps the tracked chassis navigate rough terrain. The kit is supplied unassembled with detailed instructions.
