CH3-R Combo Kit Walker

This stylish version of the research level robot and is perfect for the robotics hobbyist.

The CH3-R robot's round body symmetry makes this a very unique hexapod walker.

The three DOF (degree of freedom) leg design provides the flexibility required to walk in any direction!

The robot uses 18 HS-475 / HS-485 servos for the legs.

The combo kit includes everything you need to make a functional robot except batteries.

The robot is made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components, custom injection molded components, and high-quality aluminium Servo brackets.

The combo kit comes with the SSC-32, Bot Board II, and BASIC Atom Pro 28. By offloading the servo pulse generation and sequence movement timing to the SSC-32 the BASIC Atom has plenty of power to do some really cool things. The PowerPod program allows the robot to walk with variable speed, in any direction (translation), or turn in place (rotation), or any combination of the two. The leg lift and ride height is adjustable as well as the gait walking speed. There are preset walking modes for tall grass, tile floor, low profile and normal operation. You can rotate the body in every axis. There are also preprogrammed poses and a sleep mode. All of these are accessible from the controller. We recommend the wireless PS2 controller RC-01 to get the robot up and running quickly. There is also a serial control mode for controlling the robot via a serial connection.

PowerPod is the FREE Windows program that completely automates the program creation for the Atom processor. You no longer have to be a computer scientist to play with this level of robotics. The control options are: autonomous, PS2 remote control, RC stick radio control, and TTL serial control from a PC, PDA, or any other microcontroller.
