Tracked Chassis for Arduino: Dagu Rover5

Features and Characteristics  
The Dagu Rover 5 Tracked Chassis is a interesting and inexpensive tracked chassis. Unlike most of the tracked chassis, the Rover 5 allows you to adjust the clearance. The chassis is compatible with Pololu's expansion plates for the RP5 chassis. These plates are ideal for mounting hardware on the chassis (Arduino board).
    

   
This chassis has other interesting options, like adaptors allowing standard RC car wheels to be fitted. In its standard version the chassis comes with two motors and gearboxes, but it can be upgraded to 4 motors and gearboxes making it ideal for FINGERTECH omniwheels.

      

     
Also a PCB specifically designed allows Arduino boards (Diecimila, Duemilanove, Nano and Mega) to mount easily on the chassis. This PCB includes power supply, motor drivers with current sensing, IR sensors on each corner, 2 small breadboards, a pan/tilt kit with IR compound eye and a large prototype area under the breadboards where custom circuitry can be fitted.
