The Romi chassis is a differential-drive mobile robot platform with a diameter of 6.5″ (165 mm) and an integrated battery holder for six AA batteries (not included). The drive wheels are located on a diameter of the circular base plate, allowing for turns or spinning in place. A large, fixed ball caster in the rear provides a smooth third point of contact, and a second ball caster (not included) can optionally be added to the front. The chassis uses 70×8mm Pololu wheels and Mini Plastic Gearmotors with extended backshafts to enable quadrature encoders for position feedback.

The Romi chassis has an abundance of general-purpose mounting holes and slots intended for various sizes of screws (not included) such as #2-56, #4-40, M2, and M3. These holes can be used for mounting your electronics, such as your microcontroller, motor drivers, and sensors.

Kit includes:

  • One Romi chassis base plate
  • Two mini plastic gearmotors (120:1 HP with offset output and extended motor shaft)
  • A pair of Romi chassis motor clips
  • A pair of white 70×8mm Pololu Wheels
  • One Romi chassis ball caster kit
  • One Romi chassis battery contact set

In addition to what comes with the kit, you will need the following:

  • Six AA batteries (we recommend rechargeable AA NiMH cells). See the User’s guide for more details about power options
  • Electronics to control the motors (e.g. the Romi 32U4 Control Board)
