The Waveshare Robot-Chassis Series Smart Mobile Robot Chassis Kit (Mecanum Wheels, Absorbing Chassis) features a robust and versatile design, ideal for advanced robotics projects. It incorporates a shock-absorbing structure and a metal body, ensuring durability and enhanced performance. The chassis is equipped with Mecanum wheels, providing superior maneuverability and stability through a four-wheel drive system. This design allows for flexible movement, making it suitable for complex navigation tasks.

The chassis supports a wide range of modules, including Raspberry Pi 4B, Raspberry Pi Zero, Jetson Nano, Lidar, and various other components, thanks to its rich array of mounting holes. The inclusion of aluminum external rails facilitates the expansion of peripheral modules, enhancing the kit’s adaptability to different project requirements. The all-metal multi-layer chassis is designed to support additional modules, offering a stable and durable platform for development.

This kit is particularly beneficial for users seeking a high-strength, lightweight solution that can accommodate various hardware configurations. The open-source design allows for secondary development, enabling users to customize and expand their projects according to specific needs and interests. The kit’s compatibility with the Waveshare general driver for robots further extends its functionality, although it is important to note that this driver is not suitable for the Mecanum wheel configuration, which requires separate control of four motors.
