Devastator Tank Mobile Robot Platform

If you are looking for a strong and sturdy platform for your mobile robot project, I do recommend this Devastator, very nice build, strong parts. I was very impressed with it after assembly.

Order processed & shipped promptly, what was supposed to be Canada Post expedited took two weekends & six business days, but that's an issue with Canada Post, not RobotShop. Frustrating though. The very nicely manufactured chassis assembled easily & it was a simple task to remove one link from each of the too loose tracks. Lots of extra hardware, which was thoughtful & appreciated. Ample machined holes & slots making it fun to expand my project. I installed an Arduino Uno & tried to use both an L298N motor controller & an Adafruit L293 Vr.1 motor controller. The supplied motors would not work properly with either, even with adding 0.1uf capacitors. They did work fine with the Adafruit Vr.2 motor controller. Because I wanted to use the Adafruit Vr.1, I purchased two inexpensive geared motors from a local retailer which worked fine, and were slightly faster. Happy with my purchase. Only regret that I didnt wait to order the out of stock metal geared motor version.
