The Traxster Robot Kit was designed to be used as an indoor educational robotics
kit. This readymade platform allows more time for enthusiasts to develop intelligent
software (such as vision recognition or localization and mapping).
The Traxster features a very rugged anodized aluminum chassis, driven by two
DC gear head motors, running on a set of ABS injection molded tracks. All hardware
is either aluminum or stainless steel.
The Traxster can easily maneuver through carpet and other types of flooring,
as well as traverse over small obstacles. The Traxster's skid-steer drive tracks
enables it to spin about it's center.
This is an excellent starter kit, which can grow as the user's expertise grows.
You can start with this kit, and eventually add more powerful components such as
a Serializer (for Microsoft .NET and Robotics Studio applications), an IR Panner, a
CMUcam2/2+ Turret, and/or an ICOP Vortex86-6082 controller.
Kit includes:
- Traxster Robot Chassis
- Serializer WL Robot Controller
- CMUcam 2/2+/3 Turret (Camera not included)
- Sharp IR Panner
- 3 Sharp GP2D12 Infrared Sensors & Cables
