Prowler Robot Kit

Prowler Robot Kit by Actobotics: the chassis that makes life simple

The Prowler Robot Kit was designed for amateur robotics engineers who don’t want to spend hours assembling and connecting parts before having fun with their outdoor robot chassis. It consists of 4 planetary gear brush motors with high-traction off-road wheels, 2 ABS plastic platforms and a complete set of mounts for quickly and easily attaching the various chassis components.

The distance between the 2 platforms, created by the wheel hub mounts, allows you to insert the 4 motors without wasting any space.

A customisable 4-wheel robot chassis

Once you’ve assembled the basic elements, you can insert not only additional Actobotics components but also a motor or motion controller, to refine your robot’s movements. Although very strong, its plastic platforms can also be drilled to mount a camera, sensors or other components.
