FORBOT. The FORBOT robot is a six-wheeled, cross country, all terrain vehicle. The chassis consists of a base hull made of aluminium. The left and right drive trains are located together in the base hull and screwed in so they can be easily swapped out. Each drivetrain has its own motor. Motors and gears commonly used in the industry can be used as required. Power is transmitted from the engine to the drive wheels by highly durable and effective roller chains. The top cover of the robot serves as a platform for the panning head, lift mast, customer-specified sensors and antennas for radio communications. The cover is also made out of aluminium. When delivered, it is 3 cm in height, meaning that the vehicle has an overall height of 20 cm. The space inside the robot can be expanded as required by adjusting the height of the cover.
