Actobotics Kit - Nomad 4WD Off-Road Chassis

This is the Nomad 4WD Off-Road Chassis kit from Actobotics, a remarkably easy to assemble robotic platform capable of taking you places normal chassis can’t go. What makes this chassis kit great is not only its vast amount of attachment points for various add-ons, but also the fact that it is easily and fully configurable to fit your needs! Do you need the off-road wheels a different distance apart from one another? Do you need to switch out a motor due to damage or situational requirements? Do you need a different type of channel or panel attached to the main body for more attachment points? All of this can be done with a simple hex key and a few minutes.

This chassis is equipped with four 5" diameter by 2.25" wide heavy duty wheels, four super duty planetary gearmotors with full metal gears and a ball-bearing pivot suspension. Also included in the 4WD Off-Road Chassis kit is a large central ABS plastic body with two large access panels that open up to a cavity large enough for a 7.2V NiCAD/NiMH or other lipo battery and electronics to fit comfortably. This central body also has a multitude of 0.77" hub patterns, cutouts at the bottom to run motor wires through, and since it is made out of ABS plastic drilling holes for additional mounting options is a breeze.

Actobotics is a robotics building system based around extruded aluminum channels, gears, precision shafts, and ball bearings. Thanks to the two standardized hole patterns, nearly all Actobotics components can be intuitively connected together. The wide range of components makes building complex electromechanical prototypes or finished projects a reality.

Note: This comes as a kit and requires basic assembly.

Includes:

  • 1x 6" Aluminum Channel
  • 2x 12" Aluminum Channel
  • 3x 4.5" Aluminum Channel

Parrot Rolling Spider Robot


The Parrot Rolling Spider Robot is an ultra-compact drone controlled by smartphone. It flies indoors and outdoors with surprising speed and stability. It rips through the air, flips and thanks to its removable wheels, rolls from floor to ceiling. Rolling Spider's vertical camera enables you to take photos. You simply hit the 'photo' icon on piloting screen to take snapshots. The photos are saved in the Rolling Spider's memory which contains enough space for several hundred photos. Their resolution is 300,000 px. You recover your photos in FreeFlight 3 app: you transfer them from the Rolling Spider's internal memory to your piloting smartphone or tablet gallery.

Small but full of technology
An accelerometer and gyroscope inside the Rolling Spider measure and analyze its every movement, while the automatic pilot mode corrects Rolling Spider's angle and position. The vertical camera takes pictures of a set point on the ground every 16 milliseconds; each photo is then compared to the previous one in order to determine Rolling Spider's speed.

Free FreeFlight 3 App
Rolling Spider offers tactile, super-intuitive driving control thanks to Bluetooth Smart technology and the FreeFlight 3 application. FreeFlight 3 is compatible with Bluetooth Smart compatible iOS and Android Smartphones and tablets. This application offers a control range of up to 20 meters/65 ft.

Features:
  • Design: Plastic structure specific design for robustness
  • Stability: Ultrasound, 3 axis gyroscope & accelerometer, camera VGA
  • Battery: Parrot MiniDrones 550mAh Replacement LiPo Battery
  • Connectivity: Bluetooth Smart technology, Bluetooth V4.0 BLE
  • Size: 140mm (Prop: 55mm, Motor spacing: 85mm)
  • Weight: 55g (65 with wheels)

uArm - Desktop Robotic Arm

The uArm is an Arduino-powered, 4-axis robot arm that has been modeled after industrial pallet packing and car building robots which can be set up and used straight off of your desktop. Each uArm is equipped with three digital servos at the base to control the basic movement of the arm and an additional mini servo attached to the end-effector that moves and rotates the object you are lifting with your chosen manipulator. We all know how much of a pain building robotic equipment can be, that’s why we have made sure to provide you with fully assembled versions of this robotic arm. All you need to do to physically set it up is attach it to your desk or other work area with the four provided suction cups at the arm’s base (or screw it down for more permanent uses) and you are set to start using it.

exofabulotronixx 5200

The New MOSS Robot Construction System
MOSS is a robot construction system from Modular Robotics. Each block is a different part of a robot and combining those blocks in different ways yields a multitudinous variety of robots. Think of them as building blocks for the 21st century; designed to help kids invent and build their own robotic creations. The goal of MOSS is to impart intuitive understanding of complex systems and design principles. Within the MOSS system, kids begin to build an understanding of mechanical construction, basic circuitry, kinematic motion, robotics, software integration, and programming.

The Exofabulatronixx 5200
The Exofabulatronixx 5200 includes 52 MOSS blocks and 140 Steel Spheres. The kit is powered by a rechargeable lithium polymer battery and includes a Micro-USB charging cable. The Exofabulatronixx 5200 includes an Extended Battery, 2 Motors, 2 Pivots, 2 Flashlights, 2 Brightness Sensors, 2 Proximity Sensors, Microphone Sensor, a load of connection blocks, and support braces. The most unique block in this kit is the Double Brain Block, which lets you connect to your iOS or Android devices using Bluetooth. When paired with our suite of free mobile apps, you can create your own remote control vehicles. In addition, you can connect to a Mac or PC to reprogram your robot to exhibit new behaviors.

Learn to Build Robots!
MOSS is remarkably intuitive. Color-coded faces indicate how each block works and by snapping blocks together, kids create not only the physical body of the robot, but its behavior, too. There's no programming required, the robot is "programmed" by how its blocks are put together. Once you understand the basic principles there is no limit to what you can create. Power or data are passed through an elegant single button contact, while ground is passed through the steel spheres.
