I am planning on making a video, when the project is finished, it is going to be uploaded to this YouTube channel: Electrical and mechanical engineering projects. This project will also be updated with a video and more information about custom electronics.
I also made made a very similar robot with tracks as you did. If you need any information you can contatct me directly, since we are from the same country
This robot will be used mostly as snow plow and development platform for software. The main goal for this project was to make a robotic platform as versatile as possible. So one of the requirements was big payload capacity. A possible application requiring big payload capacity would be transporting camper trailer on a campsite with great accuracy and visibility (like in this video: LINK) and also remote controlled wheelbarrow.
Yes, you are correct, this red “thing” in the back is a 3 wheeled electric car. This is one of my previous projects. I bought a chassis from an old car (97) and then I restored everything and put an electric motor in it (15kw peak). The chassis is from car called City-EL.
I bought those used (looked like new) form a local service shop for snow blowers. I don’t have the exact part number or anything else. I think most of the tracks are the same. If you would like, I can take some measurements of my tracks so you can buy the same size and type.
know the feeling when it takes ages to get your project off the ground. I have 2 kids, ones a newborn s waiting now r free time to carry on with my build.
Quick question, were did your purchase your tracks from ???
