HD2 Treaded Robot Additions:
• Custom HD2 robots all come standard with two (2) 10Ahr batteries, IG52-04 285 RPM Gear Motors, and complete assembly. The following
add-ons can be selected:
• Change HD2 to wide Chassis (26” total width). The HD2 standard width is 20”. Select this option if a wider chassis is needed for extra
room.
• Change Gear Ratio to 18:30 Motor to Wheel Gear Ratio. The gearing is changed resulting in the robot travelling about twice as fast, but.
With this gear ration the robot travels close to 8ft/sec.
• Include Power Distribution and Current Monitor Board. We offer a power distribution board for the 24VDC system. This board allows you
to switch between batteries with TTL signals and monitors your current. This is upgrade is intended for two 10000mAhr batteries. The board
has two switched and fused relay buses that are controlled with 5V TTL signals. It also features a onboard 1A 5V switching supply, 50A
current monitor, and status LEDs.
With a WiFi control system or other two way data control system the robot battery’s current and
voltage readings will be reported back to the control program.
• Sand Blasted and Powder Coated. The HD2s are made from aluminum, so they will not rust. They are generally supplied with a wire
brushed look. This option sand blasts the exterior of the chassis and powder coat it with a satin or flat color of your choice.
• Front Mounted Lights. This option includes high intensity LED lights mounted to the font of the HD2. The option also includes the control
batteries or regulators to power the lights. The lights will be controllable from the control console/program.
• HD2 Top Roll Cage. This option includes a heavy duty ¾” round tube frame structure bent and welded to protect top mounted camera
systems from accidental roll over.
•
Add encoder feedback. We offer IG52 gear motors with encoders. This upgrade will add encoders to the motors (only one set of the
motors need encoders since the wheels are tied together by the cleated belts they will stay synchronized). This upgrade also
includes upgrading the controller board and programs to read the motors to provide speed and distance measurements of the left
and right tracks. This add-on is only valid with a WiFi control system or other two way data control system since the encoder
readings (distance the robot travels) for each side (left and right treads) will be reported back to the control program.
Video and Control Options:
• Below are common video and control packages. We also offer many other custom control choices. Video is a very common addition to our
robots. The video can be used for surveillance and/or control (to see where you are going).
• Video transmission and robot control is tricky and can be affected by several factors such as walls, electrical interference, landscape, other RF
interference, etc. We offer many different methods for video transmission. The range (distance) you can achieve is greatly influenced by the
above.
o
RC Controller Option: Standard versions include the following:
o 2.4GHz frequency spectrum control system (searches for best most reliable
channel) with a Fail Safe long range dual receiver
o Tested urban range 200+ yards (effective operation range for video and
control with multiple building structures, wireless interference, etc. Concrete
and steel walls will reduce range further)
o Tested rural line of site range 1000+ feet
o 7” color wide screen LCD for viewing video
o Full range of speed control for drive motors.
o Position control of camera pan and tilt
o Extra channel(s) for lights or other custom options.
o Handheld System:
o Spektrum remote with
custom water jet cut
mounting bracket for holding
battery, 7” LCD and video
receiver
o Light weight and portable.
o Fully assembled and tested
o
Pelican Case System:
o Pelican case with 7”LCD mounted in
the lid and controls mounted in base.
o Light weight can be carried and
operated or placed on hood of car or
table and operated
o Convenient transport case doubles as
operator console, just flip it open, erect
antennas, and turn it on.
WiFi Controller Option: The robots can be controlled via a Wi-Fi connection so you
can use your laptop to control the robot from a remote location. We provide a
program so all the driving and control of the robot is done using the using the robot
control program using your mouse or the provided USB game pad controller. With
the WiFi system the data is two way, so the robot’s status is relayed back to the
PC. If options such as encoders or current monitoring are selected, they will be
reported back to the program too. Set up of the robot to interface with your
network will be required or we can set up your PC to communicate directly with the
robot.
Using the same WiFi connection an IP camera options can be viewed and
controlled.
