Welcome to SuperDroid Robots Support Page! Get the help you need to build, update, or maintain your robot.

We design, develop, support, and sell robot parts, kits, platforms, and custom solutions. This is a general support page to help introduce you to our company, our capabilities, resources, and much more. Please follow the links on the right to familiarize yourself with our site. If you need help with anything please contact us through our contact page, live chat, email, or give us a call.

SDR Capabilities

We do virtually everything under one roof in our 10,000 sq. ft. facility with all our own machinery including CNC High Definition Plasma cutter, CNC Router Tables, CHC Mills, Lathes, brake presses, etc. This leads to rapid prototyping. The same engineer that designs your custom robot will see it all the way through including fabrication, assembly, testing, etc.

How to Build a Robot

Building your robot is a fun and exciting experience. Sometimes though, it can be a little frustrating when you are not sure about a certain aspect of the build. This is a step by step guide to getting your robot up and running. We will go over some robot basics, help you with your part selection, and give you some assembly advice.

Programming and Autonomous Robots

What good is a robot without any brains? Here are links to our support pages and product categories related to microcontroller programming.

Wheeled Robots

These robots are for serious robot enthusiasts. These robots can house a variety of wheels, motors, and frames. The different wheels will allow All Terrain travel. The motors can be regular size or super-sized for climbing over rocks. Most of the frames are heavy-duty laser-cut aluminum with predefined holes for OOPics, speed controllers, cameras, sensors, etc.

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.

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.

Wireless Systems

We carry systems to make your robot wireless. We have our own RF serial link, the Devantech RF Link, and a variety of RC controllers.

  • Wireless Serial Support
  • Network and WiFi Support
  • Radio Control Support
  • Tactical Robot Controller Support Page

Sensors

Sensors let the brains of the robot know what's going on in the outside world. Listed below are support pages for many of the sensors we carry.
