Traxster II Robot Chassis Kit

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).

Traxster II Chassis

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 manoeuvre 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 its center.
