## Description

Rover 5 is a new breed of tracked robot chassis designed specifically for students and hobbyist. Unlike conventional tracked chassis’s the clearance can be adjusted by rotating the gearboxes in 5-degree increments. “Stretchy” rubber treads maintain tension as the clearance is raised.Inside of the chassis are 4 noise suppression coils at the bottom and a battery holder that accepts 6x AA batteries (not included). It is recommended to use NiMh batteries as they last longer and have a higher current output than Alkaline batteries.Each gearbox has an 87:1 ratio and includes an optical quadrature encoder that gives 1000 pulses over 3 revolutions of the output shaft. The chassis can be upgraded to include four motors and encoders making it ideal for mecanum wheels.SPECIFICATION Motor rated voltage: 7.2V Motor stall current: 2.5A Output shaft stall torque: 10Kg/cm Gearbox ratio: 86.8:1 Encoder type: Quadrature Encoder resolution: 1000 state changes per 3 wheel rotations Speed: 1Km/hr Four motors Four encoders Encoder interface: Red = +5V Black = 0V Yellow and White = Quadrature encoder outputs
