## Description

OK the name is a little...utilitarian? But this Anodized Aluminum Metal Chasis for a Mini Robot Rover does exactly what it says. You can build a very sturdy (and quite handsome!) little robot rover with this metal frame.

- It's made of aluminum so it's light and strong.
- The anodizing is quite lovely to boot
- Can be used to build a 2-wheel or 4-wheel robot
- Tons of mounting holes & slots!
- Easy to modify because you can drill and cut aluminum
- Wont crack or break if it falls down the stairs (it happens)
 
Remember, **this is just the metal frame chassis!** **Motors, wheels, motor driver, microcontroller, etc are not included**! It's specifically designed to use either Adafruit's [Micro Continuous Rotation Servo](https://core-electronics.com.au/continuous-rotation-micro-servo-fs90r.html) *or* [DC Motor in Micro Servo Body](https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-motor-in-micro-servo-body.html). You'll need to grab either 2 or 4 of those. [You will also want 2 or 4 wheels](https://core-electronics.com.au/wheel-for-micro-continuous-rotation-fs90r-servo.html), they snap onto the motors so you can scoot around. If you have a two-wheel'er, also [grab a supporting swivel wheel](https://core-electronics.com.au/supporting-swivel-caster-wheel-1-3-diameter.html). Finally, [you can add a cute little topper if you like](https://core-electronics.com.au/top-metal-plate-for-a-mini-robot-rover-chassis.html). Then, any microcontroller and motor/servo driver can be used to build up your robot.
