• No soldering required

The DFRobotShop Rover – Arduino Compatible Tracked Robot (Basic Kit) is a versatile mobile robot tank based on the popular Arduino Duemilanove microcontroller. The Rover uses the popular Tamiya twin motor gearbox and the Tamiya track and wheel set. The DFRobotShop Rover PCB incorporates a standard Arduino Duemilanove (surface mount ATMega328), L293B motor driver (connected to pins 5 to 8), voltage regulator and prototyping area while contributing to the mechanical structural of the robot. The onboard voltage regulator allows the entire board to be powered using as little as 3.7V to ~9V*.

Main Difference Between Versions

V1.0: Includes onboard temperature and light sensors. Based on Arduino Duemilanove.
V1.5: Includes onboard temperature and light sensors and LiPo charger. Based on Arduino Duemilanove.
V2.0: No onboard sensors, but includes LiPo charger, 2x XBee slots and solder prototyping area. Based on Arduino Uno. Upgraded components.

In order to make assembly as easy as possible, solderless quick connect terminals have been included to give customers the option of crimping the wires to the motors or using solder (soldering is always preferable though). The DFRobotShop Rover is compatible with a variety of shields (when used at the same time as the motor driver). Additional features include a built-in temperature sensor and light sensor (jumper selectable), I2C pinout, pinout for DFRobot Bluetooth and DFRobot APC220 RF modules as well as 6x cool blue LEDs (jumper selectable) placed around the board.

*Note that the motors included with the kit operate at 4.5V nominal. For 6V motors.
