A4WD1 Original Rovers

Lynxmotion offers a range of versatile wheeled and tracked rovers for education, development and hobbyist use like the A4WD1 Original Rovers. These robots have been used for anything from autonomous robotic development and SLAM indoor mapping to wildlife photography and inspection. Rovers can be made to be remotely controlled or autonomous, and Lynxmotion Servo Erector Set (SES) compatibility, which is integrated into most rovers, allows additions like a gripper, sensor mounting, pan and tilt or even a complete robotic arm to be added.

A4WD1 chassis are made using aluminum brackets as well as polycarbonate plastic making them some of the most durable on the market for their price. Partial kits are often available should users want to replace the standard motors or wheels with other compatible options In the spirit of modularity, DC gear motors, hubs, wheels and electronics are all sold separately to allow users to more easily create their own rover design. The A4WD1 MTS rover kits use the frame of the A4WD1 and replace the wheels with parts from the Modular Track System (MTS), giving it great traction and weight distribution.

The Tri-Track rover’s chassis is made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components, custom aluminum brackets and the Modular Track System (MTS). By utilizing heavy duty polypropylene and rubber tracks with durable ABS molded sprockets the robot has excellent traction. It includes two 12vdc 50:1 gear head motors making it capable of carrying a 5lb payload. It is used as the base of the Lynxmotion Johnny 5 experimental robot platform.
