I Saw this somewhere there is 2 things i want build but I don’t know how
1, this will any of the parts go together?
AndyMark 6’’ Mecanum Wheel Set (2 - Lefts and 2 - Rights)

Lynxmotion 7.2VDC 175RPM 99.04oz-in GHM-04 Spur Gear Head Motor

AndyMark 500 Key Hub

Dimension Engineering Sabertooth Dual 25A 6V-24V Regenerative Motor

2, What kinda controler would i need for it ?? i am lost for ideas i am new to it

thanks (:

Got something else to ask

how would I make a robot work with rc remote control ??

What kinda things would i need?

speed control
umm remote
what else?

3

Thanks I want to build one but not so high end with programming i want to start out simple lol

What about a gripper on it would the servo work with the remote control as well??

Hi Shane_P,

Welcome to the RobotShop Forum. The AndyMark 6" Mecanum Wheels use a specific hole pattern for their mounting hubs. The Lynxmotion 7.2V DC Gear Motor has a 6mm shaft diameter. Unfortunately we do not offer a hub that has a 6mm bore with the required hole pattern for the wheels. You would be better off finding a DC Gear motor with a 3/8", 5/8" or 1/2" shaft as there are hubs for these sizes. Once you choose a DC motor, you would need to choose a DC motor controller based on current, voltage and interface. The choice is yours if you want a microcontroller for autonomous control or R/C for remote control.

Hope this helps,

Hi Shane,

If you want to use a standard R/C remote, and operate two DC gear motors, you would need a DC Motor Controller that offers R/C input. In many cases you need to add your own servo cables, but you can see clearly how you would connect the Dimension Engineering Sabertooth 2x10A Regenerative Motor Driver (R / C) to an R/C receiver unit. You would choose the motor controller based on the motor’s nominal voltage and current requirements. In addition to this, you would need a separate battery pack.

Hope this helps,

If you already have a transmitter/receiver pair, you might consider a more flexible motor controller that can be used with an R/C signal and interface with a microcontroller (PWM, Serial etc.). Sabertooth motor controllers such as the 2x25A have this as an option.

If the gripper uses a servo motor (like most small grippers do), then it is simply plug and play with the receiver.
