The Pololu Zumo chassis is a small, tracked robot platform, less than 10 cm on each side. It allows you to build custom robotic applications by connecting a variety of Micro Metal Gear motors to get a combination of torque and speed. The Zumo chassis can be purchased as a kit to build our Raspberry Pi wireless controlled robot.
The Zumo Chassis Kit contains the following mechanical components, shown in Figure 5-1:
- Zumo chassis main body
- 1/16″ black acrylic mounting plate
- Two drive sprockets
- Two idler sprockets
- Two 22-tooth silicone tracks
- Two shoulder bolts with washers and M3 nuts
- Four 1/4″ #2-56 screws and nuts
- Battery terminals
