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.
