Octagon Chassis Frame - Blue Plastic - 16cm x 16cm x 4cm

This Blue Octagon Chassis makes for an excellent robot body that's easy to machine and modify. It's a single piece of 4mm thick plastic, with a variety of holes, slots and cutouts for mounting boards, sensors, and servos. The sides are notched to fit two DC Gear 'TT' motors - you'll want to get four M3 or 4-40 screws about 24mm/1.0" long to mount the motors. At either end you can screw on a ball caster . You can build a very sturdy (and quite handsome!) medium-sized robot rover with this frame.

• Can be used to build a 2-wheel robot
• Tons of mounting holes & slots!
• You can drill and cut plastic so it's easy to modify
• Top is nice and large, so it will fit a Crickit, Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano...whatever you want!
• Won't crack or break if it falls down the stairs (alright, it happens)

Remember, this is just the plastic frame chassis! Motors, wheels, motor drivers, microcontrollers, etc are not included !

You'll probably want to also pick up the following to complete the robot body.

• Two DC Gearbox 'TT' Motors
• Two 'TT' Motor wheels ( we have a range! )
• One 20mm Height Metal Caster Bearing Wheel

Then you will also need a microcontroller and motor driver that can drive the 5V DC motors. We recommend one of the following:

• Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper Shield for Arduino
• Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper FeatherWing
• Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper HAT for Raspberry Pi
• Adafruit TB6612 DC Motor driver (can drive two DC motors)
• Adafruit DRV8833 DC Motor driver (can drive two DC motors)
• Adafruit CRICKIT (we got various types)

A matching microcontroller or microcomputer is also required!
