RS011-2/2 DAGU Rover 5 - Tank Tracked Robot Chassis with Adjustable Clearance - 2 Wheel Drive with 2 Encoders
Overview
Rover 5 is a unique and powerful tracked chassis produced by DAGU
This Rover 5 chassis uses 2 independent motors, each with an optical quadrature encoder and gearbox
The entire gearbox assembly can be rotated at 5 degree increments for different clearance configurations
You can even replace the tank treads with traditional wheels
This base is heavy duty and can drive over obsticles
Unlike conventional tracked chassis's you can adjust the clearance
Strechy rubber treads maintain tension as the clearance is changed
The standard chassis comes with two motors and gearboxes
Each gearbox has an optical quadrature encoder with a resolution of 1000 state changes per 3 revolutions of the output shaft (333.33 pulses per revolution)
This chassis can be upgraded to 4 motors and gearboxes
The gearbox angle can be changed in 5 degree increments and adaptors are available allowing standard RC car wheels to be fitted
Currently there is a PCB designed to allow Arduino development boards (not included) to mount easily on the chassis
