Rocker Tubie

thingiverse

Rocker Tubie is an enormous robot on wheels, boasting a sturdy PVC tube frame that's three times larger than its common counterparts. This impressive size makes Rocker Tubie part of the general category of self-propelled or remote-controlled robots on wheels, also known as "6WD rovers." The frame consists of rugged PVC hydraulic pipes and strong PLA fittings (printed in 3D). The entire project can be viewed in detail at this address: http://www.fanbotica.com. Several outdoor tests were conducted with the robot assembled and complete with its RC module. You can watch these tests on YouTube by visiting: https://youtu.be/-VNqAblKKN0 https://youtu.be/oEGFaRnfMHc The Rocker Tubie DK-B (Developer Kit-Base) is a comprehensive list of components used for the Roker Tubie frame design with rocker suspension.
