Robot Car Chassis UGV by Arexx

The Robot Car Chassis is a prototype of a robot car and designed for the classroom. The idea is to create a kit, cheap and simple enough for the classroom with enough educational value to challenge students for a semester. Most robots use a differential skid steer system, manufacturer decided to use a car chassis which provides the additional challenge of 3 point turns. The car is 75mm wide, 150mm long and about 60mm high. The large flat area at the front is ideal for adding a small breadboard.

Specification:

• Actuators / output devices: 2x DC brushed motors

• CPU: Atmega168 8Mhz
• Power source: 4x AA batteries
• Programming language: Arduino C++
• Sensors / input devices: Steering potentiometer, 4x IR line following sensors, 3-Axis accelerometer
• Target environment: Indoors, classroom

Micro Magician (micro controller) not included 

• Car is 75mm wide, 150mm long and about 60mm high
• Control Method: Autonomous / TV remote
• Operating System: Arduino IDE 0022

MSR-H01 Haxapod FRAME only Kit

MSR-H01 is a 3 DOF hexapod kit consisting of 26 precision laser-cut 5053 aluminum body and leg components in one of three anodized colors: Silver, Red or Black. The kit comes with all screws, stand-offs, nuts and bolts for assembly (servos, electronics and batteries are not included).

The M3 & M4 machine screws included are high quality, stainless steel, hexagon button head type, with steel hexagon stand-offs. The top body plate has mounting holes for a p.Brain-SMB or SSC32 controller. With the electronics mounted underneath the top body plate, there is still enough room within the body for a 5 cell Sub-C battery pack. An optional PP3 battery holder can be fitted within the body frame for a clean, logic power supply. At the front of the hexapod there is a servo mounting point for an optional pan/tilt head.
Dimensions when standing: 280mm x 320mm x 175mm (LxWxH)

GPS/GPRS/GSM Shield V3.0 (Arduino Compatible)

GPS/GPRS/GSM Shield V3.0  (Arduino Compatible)


A GPS/GPRS/GSM shield from DFRobot. This shield with a Quad-band GSM/GPRS engine works on frequencies EGSM 900MHz/DCS 1800MHz and GSM850 MHz/PCS 1900MHz. It also supports GPS technology for satellite navigation. It's possible for your robot and control system to send messages and use the GSM network.
 
It is controlled via AT commands(GSM07.07 ,07.05 and SIMCOM enhanced AT Commands). And the design of this shield allows you to drive the GSM & GPS function directly with the computer and the Arduino Board. It includes a high-gain SMD antenna for GPS & GSM.
 
This GPS/GPRS/GSM shield uses an embedded SIM908 chip from SIMCom.Featuring an industry-standard interface and GPS function, the combination of both technologies allows goods, vehicles and people to be tracked seamlessly at any location and anytime with signal coverage.

Netduino Plus 2

The Netduino Plus is an open source electronics platform using the .NET Micro Framework. The board features a 32-bit microcontroller and a rich development environment, making it a perfect solution for engineers and hobbyists alike.
The Netduino Plus 2 has four times the speed (168MHz), six times the code space (384KB), and twice the available RAM (100KB+) of Netduino Plus 1. They've also given it a whole series of rich new features like four serial ports, six PWM channels and 12-bit ADC. The 6-pin ICSP header has been swapped out for a 10-pin MiniJTAG header. The goal is to enable developers to compile their own firmware using GCC and debug both native and managed code at the same time.
