The Traxster II Robot Kit is new and improved! The design of popular Traxster chassis is refined so it's MUCH easier to assemble, has a more durable coating, and features more useful holes to allow you to bolt on multiple sensors, cameras and antennas and more!

The Traxster Robot Kit was designed to be used as an indoor educational robotics kit. This ready-made platform allows more time for enthusiasts to develop intelligent software (such as vision recognition or localization and mapping).

The Traxster features a very rugged, three-toned powder coated aluminum chassis & drive disks, driven by two DC gear head motors with built in Quadrature wheel encoders, running on a set of ABS injection molded tracks. All hardware is either aluminum or stainless steel.

The Traxster can easily maneuver through carpet and other types of flooring, as well as traverse over small obstacles. The Traxster's skid-steer drive tracks enables it to spin about it's center.

This is an excellent starter kit, which can grow as the user's expertise grows. You can start with this kit and a micro-controller, and eventually add more powerful components such as multiple sensors, camera, IMU, etc.
