Using the kit, you can make your own robot smart car. This omnidirectional wheel is very flexible, It can move laterally without turning, and it can adapt to complex terrain. There are 4 such new wheels to combine, which can realize all-around movement function more flexibly and conveniently. The chassis is made of aluminum alloy, which is durable.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTired of making 3-point turns with your robot\u003cbr\u003eStandard differential drive robots are great, but they lack agility in tight spaces. If you are building a warehouse bot, a surveillance rover, or a ROS-based mapping robot, you need the ability to move sideways, diagonally, and rotate in place without friction. This Aluminum Mecanum Wheel Robot Car Chassis Kit (Double Deck) is the robust, omnidirectional foundation your advanced robotics projects have been waiting for.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBuilt Like a Tank, Moves Like a Dancer Unlike flimsy acrylic chassis kits that crack under load, this platform is constructed from high-strength aluminum alloy. The \"Double Deck\" design provides two distinct layers: a lower deck for your heavy motors and battery, and an upper deck dedicated to your delicate electronics like Raspberry Pi, LiDAR, or Jetson Nano. We know that shipping metal kits can be risky, which is why this unit ships with Probots Secure-Transit packaging, ensuring every plate arrives straight and every screw hole aligns perfectly, ready for assembly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-group\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column-line\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pagebuilder-column\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChassis Material: \u003c\/strong\u003eAluminum Alloy (Anodized)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck Configuration:\u003c\/strong\u003e Double Layer (Stand-off separation)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4WD (Four Independent DC Gear Motors)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWheel Type: \u003c\/strong\u003eMecanum 4mm Dia (Roller style for vector movement)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMotors:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4x Dual Shaft  DC Gear Motors (3V-6V rated)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly Status:\u003c\/strong\u003e DIY Unassembled (Screwdriver required)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Holes: \u003c\/strong\u003ePre-drilled slots for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and Servo mounting\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions: \u003c\/strong\u003eApprox. 260mm x 150mm x 65mm (L x W x H)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePayload Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Up to 1.5kg (dependent on battery\/motor voltage)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOmnidirectional Mobility: \u003c\/strong\u003e4x Mecanum wheels allow for holonomic movement (forward, backward, crab-walk sideways, diagonal, and spin).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-Layer Architecture:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maximizes mounting surface area, allowing for clean cable management and separation of power vs. logic components.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAluminum Alloy Body:\u003c\/strong\u003e Anodized finish resists corrosion and provides a rigid, wobble-free base for \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/probots.co.in\/diy-electronic-modules\/sensors.html\" title=\"sensor\" target=\"_self\"\u003esensors\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Payload Capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Rigid frame supports heavier batteries and multiple \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/probots.co.in\/diy-electronic-modules\/sensors.html\" title=\"sensor\" target=\"_self\"\u003esensors\u003c\/a\u003e without flexing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProbots Lab Verified: \u003c\/strong\u003eOur engineering team has tested this chassis configuration to ensure the included motors provide sufficient torque for smooth strafing on hard surfaces.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eApplications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarehouse Logistics Prototypes: \u003c\/strong\u003eSimulate AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) paths.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eROS Education:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ideal \"TurtleBot\" alternative for university labs.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompetition Robotics:\u003c\/strong\u003e High agility for \"Robo-Soccer\" or maze solving.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSurveillance: \u003c\/strong\u003eSmooth turning for stable camera feeds.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVirtual Technician \u0026amp; Wiring Guide ⚠️\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"WCUSHVJ\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCritical Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eDO NOT drive these motors directly from your Arduino or Raspberry Pi pins.
