Adafruit Mini Robot Rover Chassis Kit - 2WD with DC Motors

Unleash your inner Mad Max and make your vehicle dreams a reality with the Mini Robot Rover Kit. This kit gives you everything you need to build the shell of a 2-wheel-drive Robot Rover, featuring a robust chassis, 4-6 VDC motors, and wheels. It’s a blank canvas for your imagination, requiring you to complete it with a power supply, microcontroller, or microcomputer, and a dual H-bridge motor controller.

Embrace the freedom to select components that suit your project. The kit supports compatibility with devices like the TB6612 breakout, Motor FeatherWing, Motor Shield for Arduino, or Motor HAT for Raspberry Pi. Just ensure your choice supports two bi-directional brushed DC motors at ~5V and 1A. For steering, utilize a motor driver, such as the Feather 32u4 Bluefruit LE used in our demo, and power the rover with options like an AA Battery Pack and a 3.7v 350mAh LiPoly Battery.

The kit includes 2 wheels, 2 DC motors in MicroServo shape, a support wheel, a metal chassis, and a top metal plate with mounting hardware. Assembly extends beyond just putting parts together; it offers a gateway to experimentation with remote-control robotics. Explore a comprehensive tutorial to build a Feather Bluefruit LE version, guiding you through one of many infinite design possibilities.

Note: Key components like the 4xAA Battery pack, LiPoly Battery, Feather board, FeatherWings, and Feather accessories are not included, allowing full customization to meet unique project needs.
