hi, I’m building a track robot (Im new in robotics) and I was wondering what do I need. (I already did my research but I still need more help/tips) Like how many actuators I need or how what type of stuff I need etc.
The dimensions for my project
Length: 1ft and 2inches
Width: 9inches 9/16
Hi, I was wondering what are the main stuff you need in making a Track robot. Like what kind of actuators or what kind of power output you need, etc. (I’m new in this field and was wondering what you need)
So for a late response I was at schools and couldn’t post that design for it
Yup, I’m starting with a custom build and here’s my robot design for it.
So if I have four tracks like wheels? I need four DC motors? I presume. And what stuff do I need?
Like a Micro-controller?
The dimensions are for the tracked robot…
length:1ft and 5 inches
hieght: 3inches and 9/12
Width:9 inches and 5/8
front/back sides:9 inches and 1/2

You essentially want to build something similar to the Tri-Track:
robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-tri-track-chassis-kit.html
You can see how it’s put together here mechanically:

We offer all these parts separately, except for the frame, which it sounds like you want to custom build.
You really only need one DC gear motor per track.
Can you provide a sketch of what you want it to look like?
To calculate the output, take a look at the following online tool:

Not really, you only need one motor per side.
