Spin Robot

cults3d

The spin robot is a versatile mobile platform. The wheels can be steered independently from eachother, in the same configuration as the ESA Exomars rover. I wanted to be able to build the platform with cheap parts that still meet the requirements of robustness and accuracy. It also had to be large enough to carry a computer and cameras. I set myself that goal and by using the right construction principles I believe I have succeeded in that. Most of the platform consist of parts that must be 3D-printed. An elaborate instruction for building the Spin Robot is given on Instructables. stl-files are available , but also 3mf-files (for a Prusa 3d-printer) . Additonally, sourcing the not-printable parts you can do yourself. I add a description on where to source the parts (mostly keep the cost down by soucing on AliExpress). The cost price of the rover is typically below 500 euros excluding the Pi (it consists of 12 power servo's).
