Our Review
The Robot Tank Car Chassis Kit, Aluminum Alloy Tracked Platform for STEAM Education & Competitions (20.5x16x7cm/8.1x6.3x2.8in) delivers solid performance for its category. With Drive: Tank tracks, Platform: Carbon fiber frame, Motors: 4x N20 encoded motors, it covers the essentials that most makers and engineers need for their projects.
Assembly took about 45 minutes following the included instructions. The fit and finish of the parts was acceptable — minor filing needed on a couple of pieces.
The platform provides a solid foundation for learning. We mounted an Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor, and motor driver without running out of mounting real estate. The aluminum chassis is rigid enough for indoor use.
For the price point, the Robot Tank Car Chassis Kit, Aluminum Alloy Tracked Platform for STEAM Education & Competitions (20.5x16x7cm/8.1x6.3x2.8in) delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where robotics kits & frames components are essential.
