{"title":"Turtle: 2WD Arduino Mobile Robot Platform","handle":"turtle-2wd-arduino-mobile-robot-platform","url":"/products/turtle-2wd-arduino-mobile-robot-platform","description":"The Turtle is a compact 2WD mobile robot platform designed for use with Arduino and other microcontroller boards. It comes as a kit with two geared DC motors, rubber wheels, a rear caster ball, an aluminium alloy chassis, and all mounting hardware needed for assembly.\n\nThe top layer includes a standard servo socket and three optional sensor holder positions for IR range sensors. The servo mount supports simple rotation platforms, two degree-of-freedom camera holders, or small robotic arms. With its differential drive and near-zero turning radius, it's well suited to indoor flat-surface navigation.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nDifferential 2WD Drive – Two geared motors with near-zero turning radius\n\nAluminium Alloy Chassis – Durable, lightweight 170 mm diameter base\n\nServo and Sensor Mounts – Standard servo socket with three adjustable sensor positions\n\nExpandable Platform – Compatible with Arduino motor shields and all-in-one robot controllers\n\nRear Caster Ball – Smooth omnidirectional movement\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nDrive – 2WD differential\n\nBase Diameter – 170 mm\n\nWeight – 445 g\n\nMotors – 2× TT geared DC motors with back shaft\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× Aluminium alloy chassis\n2× TT geared DC motors\n2× Rubber wheels\n1× Rear caster ball\nMounting hardware\n\n\n\nNote: A motor controller and microcontroller board are required and sold separately. An Arduino-compatible robot controller board with built-in motor driver is recommended.\n\n\nResources\n\nDFRobot Wiki – 2WD Mobile Platform\nAssembly Manual (PDF)\n","vendor":"DFRobot","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":13759,"title":"Default Title","sku":"DF-ROB0005","price":53.3,"compare_at_price":65.45,"on_sale":true,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":215,"option1":"Default Title"}],"documents":[{"title":"Supplier page — dfrobot.com","type":"supplier_description","type_label":"Supplier Description","url":"https://littlebirdelectronics.com.au/rails/active_storage/blobs/redirect/BAh7BkkiC19yYWlscwY6BkVUewdJIglkYXRhBjsAVGkDmSMBSSIIcHVyBjsAVEkiDGJsb2JfaWQGOwBG--122b497ea001cd0d63ba20e50c733a1d1eab6c4f/turtle-2wd-arduino-mobile-robot-platform-dfrobot-com-2026-05-13.pdf","link":false,"file_extension":"PDF","file_size":570356,"description":"Snapshot of https://www.dfrobot.com/product-65.html (captured 13 May 2026)"}]}
