I started this project back in 2022 after longing for a new project to set my eyes to! This robotics platform is compatible with Arduino boards as well as the popular ESP 32 chip which enables Wi-Fi capability. Assembly is simple and just requires a bit of glue, hot glue works perfect and bonds well.
The prints are easy to do without major supports. I printed it on my good old Ender 3 Pro.
Features and customizability:
Remote control function when using a Wi-Fi compatible board like ESP32
You may use your own tyres or even rugged 3d printable tracks (much like the Snow-Cat from RCTestFlight)
Easy printable parts
Optional LED spotlight to deter anyone!
Optional remote monitoring via Camera
Houses tons of sensors to help with Automation/Waypoints.
12v fan cooling components
Easy power-up process via one button
Has a 360 turret you can mount on top that houses the sensors! (See pictures included!)
Here is a parts list for what I used: (All widely available at electronics stores)
9 x 5mm LED
PIR sensor module
Ultrasonic sensor module
Flame sensor module
Raspberry Pi Camera Module *Optional
Raspberry Pi *Optional
L298N Motor driver
12v DC Motors
LED Spotlight panel *Optional
12v AA battery holder
8 x AA batteries
Jumper cables
180 degree Servo motor 9g (This turns the turret)
It is printed in a few parts that can be joined together with nuts and bolts or even glue.
NOTE that holes on side are meant for:
Back ones are for the motor-shafts
Front ones are for ball bearings where you can attach all kinds of wheels or tracks!
