The Stinger features commercial grade parts, such as aircraft grade aluminum and stainless
steel fasteners, not found on any other robotics kits in its price range. The unique design
of the two piece powder-coated chassis allows for quick assembly times and easy access to
the internals. We also added in two high torque 100 oz-in DC gearhead motors, featuring
built in Quadrature wheel encoders with 624 pulses per revolution.
The Stinger can easily maneuver through shag carpet and many other types of flooring, as well
as traverse over small obstacles. The Stinger utilizes large, wide foam tires for excellent
traction, and can easily spin around thanks to its differential drive configuration.
The front bumper is designed to allow customers to mount various sensors, such as bump sensors,
line following sensors, infrared sensors, etc.
If you’re looking for a tough, durable, and expandable entry level robotics platform, then
you've found it. The Stinger
