Tri-Track chassis kit and a gripper

Hello all!

I would like to ask a question. I want to get the tri-track chassis kit and combine it with another microcontoller. But I need a gripper that is compatible with the tri-track chassis kit.

Do you have anything to suggest? Thanks in advance.

You can install the L5, L6 or SES arm onto the TriTrack chassis.

Hello and thanks for the quick reply.

Could I ask you a question though? Even though these arms are very good they are too good for what I want to do. I just need something to pick up cubelike items and then put them down somewhere else. Anything compatible with the tritrack chassis with less degrees of freedom?

How about just adding a little gripper?

And maybe a simple way to lift it up a little to get the object off the floor.

I want one of these!

Sure, but you have to go ala carte. Click below and scroll to the bottom and click on brackets. You should be able to assemble a simple 2 or 3 DOF arm. Browse the other categories and you will find grippers and the base rotate kit.

Oh I understand now. Thanks for the replies both of you.

The problem is that this will be for my last year thesis for my computer science degree and as you can guess I am more for the programming part of the project and not for the mechanical/assembly one.

I guess I should either take the big arm or forget the arm alltogether for the project since I don’t think that I would be able to assemble an arm of my own by using brackets.

Ofcourse the mechanical side of things I would like to learn sometime but assembling a robotic arm is not the way to start with it I guess. Thanks for the replies though, you really helped me :slight_smile:

I respect your comments, but it’s really not that difficult. You don’t need to use anything more complicated than a screw driver and plyers. Perhaps you should click on the what can I build link for some ideas. Good luck with your project.

If it is that simple I can do it. I assumed it would require some kind of special skills/knowledge. Thanks a lot more then. I will be sure to check it out and try to implement it in my project that way.
