Unlike conventional tracked platforms, the ground clearance is adjustable by rotating the gearboxes in 5° increments, while the stretchy rubber treads automatically maintain tension as the height changes.\n\nEach of the two gearboxes has an 87:1 ratio with an optical quadrature encoder providing 1,000 state changes per 3 output shaft revolutions for precise speed and position feedback. The chassis houses a 6× AA battery holder (batteries not included) with four noise suppression coils. NiMH batteries are recommended for longer run time and higher current output.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nMotors – 2× DC motors (rated 7.2V, 2.5A stall current)\n\nGearbox Ratio – 86.8:1\n\nStall Torque – 10 kg/cm per output shaft\n\nSpeed – 1 km/h\n\nEncoders – 2× optical quadrature (1,000 state changes per 3 wheel rotations)\n\nEncoder Wiring – Red (+5V), Black (GND), Yellow (Signal B), White (Signal A)\n\nClearance – Adjustable in 5° increments\n\nTreads – Stretchy rubber with automatic tension\n\nBattery – 6× AA holder (NiMH recommended, not included)\n\nUpgradeable – Can accept 4 motors and encoders for mecanum wheels\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nRobotics education and student projects\nTracked robot platforms with encoder feedback\nAutonomous navigation prototyping\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Rover 5 Tank Chassis with 2 motors and 2 encoders\n\n\nResources\n\nManual (PDF)\nMotor datasheet (PDF)\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":false,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":9419,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-ROB0055-E","price":99.99,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":false,"available_quantity":0,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
