Parts description

2.1 Socket system with clips

The parts can attached to the robot using a special socket system with clips. For some of the parts required two circular socket space. Part file

socket system assembly

socket system assembled

2.2 Base

Every robot start with a main base (body). You can choose between two available bases. The difference is the height of the bases. For new users suggested the taller one because is more easy to keep in track the wiring inside the robot. Part file

base tall

base tall

The cover for both of the bases is the same and offers extra space for expandability. The cover secured in the top of the base using special male-female sockets between the base and the cover.

2.3 Motor block

The motors blocks gives to robot the ability to move around to the physical world. The motor block requires two circular space on the base. That part secures in the base using special clips. Part file

motor block

2.4 Odometer block

The external odometer block can be used for distance , velocity and acceleration calculations. Requires one circular space one the base and one wheel. The wheel should be rotate freely inside the block. Part file

odometer block

2.5 Odometer module

The odometer module can be used for distance , velocity and acceleration calculations. That module can be used for robots with two or four motors. Can be attached to a motor block using a coupler, the coupler connected to the motor shaft from inside the base. The sensor disk should be rotate freely and doesn't be blocks from other parts or wires. Part file

odometer block

2.6 Free rotation wheel block

That modules just offers to the robot better contact two the ground and requires two circular socket space. Part file

free rotation wheel block

2.7 Metal ball caster block

That modules offers to the robot better contact to the ground and requires two circular socket space. Ca be placed below the robot. Can be used in two wheels robots. Part file

metal ball caster block

2.8 Servo motor block

The servo motor block, is very handy 😉 for applications as a robotic arm or in cases you want rotation with precision. The socket of the servo motor block can attached to main body using a spacer ring before the clip and can attached to arm extenders directly using only the clip. Part file

servo block

2.9 Spacer ring

That part used to attach a servo motor block to the base. Part file

spacer ring

2.10 Arm extender part

The arm extender part, attached to servo motor block using a small Philips screw. The attachment point with the screw is the pivot point for the arm extender. On the other end the part has two circular space slots. On that slots can be placed only servo motor blocks or grip block. You can combine many arm extenders and servo motor blocks but should be careful for the total torque of your servo motor. Part file

2.11 Arm rotation base

The arm rotation base, connects to servo motor block using a small Philips screw. The attachment point with the screw is the pivot point for the that base. That part has two circular space slots and in that slots can be placed only servo motor block. With that part you can achieve rotations in Z axis. Part file

2.13 L shape 2 spaces extender

The L shape 2 spaces extender offers extra space to the robot. Can be placed inside on the robot (tall base) or outside. On that part can be attached ultrasonic sensor block, camera block or any other block can be fit. Attached to the base with a male to male connector and requires one circular slot space. Part file

l shape 2 extender

2.14 L shape 4 spaces extender

The L shape 4 spaces extender offers extra space to the robot. On that part can be attached ultrasonic sensor block, camera block or any other block can be fit. Attached to the base with a male to male connector and requires one circular slot space. Part file

l shape 4 extender

2.15 Male to male connector

That part can be uses to connect parts with circular slots eg. L shape extenders. Also can be used to combine multiple bases together for a match larger robot. Part file

male to male connector

2.16 Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi is the brain of your robot. Requires one circular socket space. Part file

2.24 Power block

The power block can handle input voltages 9-36V and can output 5v using USB port and terminal output . Part file

power block

2.25 Multi connector module

That part used to multiply the the power and ground output of the Raspberry PI, also can be used to connect multiple I²C sensors. Part file

multi connector

2.26 Battery Pack

Is a custom build battery pack with 3 Li-ion 18650 batteries. The BMS circuit on the pack can charge and discharge the batteries with safety. The output voltage is 12V and input voltage for charging is 12.3V. You can place the battery pack inside the robot base.
