Red Rover is a simple 2WD robot chassis that gets your projects moving quickly! Unlike other robots that need expensive motor control boards, the Red Rover comes with a really simple motor controller board. If you can make servos move, you can make Red Rover move!
What's included
Red anodized aluminum chassis with cutouts for drive motors and hardware. Platform approximately 156 x 73 mm
Aluminum support shelf with standoffs
Dual-channel motor control board
Two DC gear motors (micro-servo size)
Two large drive wheels with tires (outside diameter approximately 60 mm)
Swivel caster
Mounting hardware and cable harness
How it works
Red Rover includes a motor driver board that makes the wheel drive motors appear as two continuous rotation servos:
So you'll be able to use your micro-controller's standard servo library to drive Red Rover. Set the motor to 180° and it'll drive at 100% forward. Set it to 0°, and the motor will run backwards at full speed. Set it to 90° and it stops.
