Rover Tracks v2
Free

This is the second version of my Rover Tracks design.

Many small issues were solved following the recommendations of the people that already built the first version of it. (Thank you guys!)

The main idea of this project is to create tracks you can put on any rover you design.

As you can see in the video, it is pretty powerful for just having one super cheap motor per track. It was able to tackle every type of terrain I put it on!

Check bellow for the list of things you'll need to print and buy and more details on the build.

Source code can be downloaded from github here.

I'd love to see the make!

Track assembly

To test the tracks I made a base that connect both tracks and has holes for a Raspberry-pi. The Pi is controlled by generic a bluetooth gamepad like this one

To power the raspberry pi I used a DC-DC step down converter, and soldered the output of it to the pins of the RPi's usb power connector. (There was no space for a real USB connector)

Follow [this video]() to see how to assemble each track of the robot.

To Print

For each side (you need two sides per rover) - 1   MotorMount_A_v2.stl - 1   MotorMount_B_v2.stl - 2   WheelDrive_v2.stl - 2   WheelSlave_v2.stl - 1   Enclosure_A_v1.stl - 1   MRTConnector.stl  (This replaces the Enclosure_B_v1.stl) - 2   Enclosure_C_v1.stl - 22 Track_v1.stl

To connect both sides: 1 -   plate.stl

To Buy

If you just want to make the tracks... - 2 Generic DC Geared Motor

If you want to make the rover as seen in the pictures... - 1 Raspberry Pi 3 - 1 Bluetooth Gamepad - 1 2s battery (It really does'n matter which) - 1 DC-DC Step Down module (To power the Raspberry pi from the 7.4v battery) - 1 Mini slide switch - 1 Adafruit Motor Hat

I spent a lot of time designing this. If you like it and want to say thanks by giving me a tip and help me continue to make amazing Things!

Good luck!
