We are pleased to announce a 'pre-production' beta version launch of this belt drive nano robot chassis.

Please note, that this robot kit is not a toy. The kit is intended for experienced robotmakers where considerable effort and additional skills will be require to complete the robot kit e.g. fitting (bending, drilling, filing, etc), electronic design, soldering and advanced programming (C++).

Designed for assembly, low-cost &  simple construction

We have developed a simple flat-pack robot chassis kit to give you a 'kick start' with your  robot swarm project. 

This robot chassis was designed with large robot swarms (50-100) in mind. Large swarm robots need to be low costs, simple assembly and of course, easy maintenance as critical design criteria. . 

The flat-pack construction enables us to manufacture the chassis in one piece,  reducing production time and assembly time considerably.

The  25mm x 25mm x 25mm nano chassis, is also suitable for nano sumo competition robot project. It can of course be used for any other miniature robot project.

Chassis designed for MegaBitty robot controller

The chassis has been specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the MegaBitty robot controller boards with a 20mm x 20mm fixing holes pitch (see drawing for details).

To maximise space and to simplify assembly by eliminating fiddly screw, simple tabs have been used for fixing motor, MegaBitty robot controller PCB and battery plate into position. 

What does Pre-Production mean? 

These chassis are manufactured in small batches and "made to order". This means that we collect orders for manufacture each week and run the production 1x per week for all orders received. This may mean that lead-times can take an additional 1-2 weeks before the chassis kit is dispatched. This enables us to provide you a chassis according to the latest specification at the lowest costs.

Complete Kits including MegaBitty and Sensors 

The Chassis can is available as bare chassis kit with Nano Motor, wheel bearing and wheel rims, but also it is available  chassis has been specifically designed to be used in conjunction with the MegaBitty robot controller boards with a 20mm x 20mm fixing holes pitch (see drawing for details).
