Rocker Tubie by FrancescoOnorati

Last crawled date: 3 years, 1 month ago

Rocker Tubie is three times larger than the common robot on wheels thanks to the sturdy PVC tube frame.
The Rocker Tubie belongs to the general category of self-propelled or remote-controlled robots on wheels also known as "6WD rovers".
The frame of the Rocker Tubie consists of PVC hydraulic pipes and PLA fittings (printed in 3d).
The whole project in detail was published by me at this address http://www.fanbotica.com/.
Here some small tests carried out outdoors with the robot assembled and complete with the RC module:
