Homemade Robotic Kit

IMG_0573.JPG

This is a basic homemade robotic kit made from hard board. This kit can be used for RC vehicles like RC car, Line Following Robot, Edge avoiding Robot etc.

Update : Please use a DC geared box since the simple 3V DC cannot put enough torque to make the robot move.

A simple line following robot project instructable will be posted soon.

The dimensions of hard board are 5 inch by 11 inch.

Cater wheel distance from front edge : 6 cm.
DC motors distance from back edge : 1.5 cm.

Use any saw to cut the hard board. Also put small piece of hard board in between the caster wheel and dc motors for strong support.
Use a marker to mark the locations of screws. Then use a drill to drill a hole smaller in diameter than the screw. Then assemble the kit as shown in image.
