The Devastator Tank mobile platform kit is an amazing multi - functional robot platform. It offers obstacle avoidance, real - time monitoring, and a full - range angle of view. With everything needed to build your tracked platforms, it's highly expandable. You can easily add various sensors and modules to fit different scenarios. Its high - strength aluminium alloy construction makes it super solid and long - lasting. What makes this platform stand out is its Romeo for Intel Edison controller. The high - performance Edison MPU can run a Linux OS, giving the robot more processing power. Remote control and real - time monitoring are a breeze with this kit. The included USB camera lets you view the robot's perspective in real - time on your PC or phone via WiFi. The color - coded headers on - board are compatible with most DFRobot sensors and modules, enabling quick function expansion. This is an upgraded version with new features like two high - torque metal gear motors for better speed and payload, high - performance suspension for great mobility on different terrains, and a Hexa Base Rotate kit for a full field of view. Step - by - step microcontroller setup instructions are available on the DFRobot website. Features include obstacle avoidance, real - time monitoring, full - range angle of view, smartphone control support, and a 2 DOF turntable. Specifications cover the controller, platform, sensors, servo, camera, dimensions, and weight. Documents such as the wiki, tutorial, and library with sample code are provided. The shipping list includes all the necessary components for building your robot.
Using the Devastator Robot Kit is easy. First, visit the DFRobot website to get the step - by - step instructions for setting up the microcontroller. Then, assemble the components following the shipping list. You can use the included USB camera to start real - time monitoring through your PC or phone's web browser via WiFi. To expand the functions, simply connect compatible DFRobot sensors and modules to the color - coded headers. When using the robot, make sure the input voltage is within the 6 - 12V range as specified. Avoid using it in extreme temperatures outside the - 10 to +70 C range. For maintenance, keep the metal parts clean and dry to prevent rust. Check the motors and sensors regularly for any signs of damage. If you need to replace a component, refer to the shipping list and the product documentation for guidance.
