- DM (Direct Mount) Compact ATR Support
- SB (Single Bearing) ATR Support
- DB (Dual Bearing) Heavy Duty ATR Support
- Vectoring Robot Support
- Conventional Steering ATR Support
Treaded Robots
Treaded robots are much more likely to navigate obstacles especially where climbing is involved as the tread helps to hold the robot up while spanning gaps.
Electrical and Schematics
Motor Controllers take signals from a microprocessor or radio control receiver and convert it into a high current varying voltage.
- Electric Motor Hookup Support
- Electric Power Hookup Support
- Schematics
- Soldering Tips
- Crimping Wires
Servos, Motors, and Motor Controllers
Many robots can be driven by modified servos. To drive larger robots you need gear motors. Gearmotors can not be driven directly from a microcontroller like servos can, so you need motor speed controllers.
