## Description

This royal undercarriage is made for the most noble, [born in the purple](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Born_in_the_purple) robots! This Aluminum Chassis in Blinka purple makes for an excellent robot body. It's a single piece of bent 2mm thick aluminum, with a variety of holes, slots and cutouts for mounting boards, sensors, and servos. [The sides are notched to fit two DC Gear 'TT' motors perfectly](https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-gearbox-motor-tt-motor-200rpm-3-to-6vdc.html) - you'll want to get four M3 or 4-40 screws in about 24mm/1.0" to mount the motors. In the front you can screw on a [ball caster](https://core-electronics.com.au/ball-caster-3-4-metal-ball.html). 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 attractive to boot
- Can be used to build a 2-wheel or 4-wheel robot
- Tons of mounting holes & slots!
- You can drill and cut aluminum so it's easy to modify
- Won't crack or break if it falls down the stairs (alright, it happens)
 
Remember, **this is just the metal frame chassis!** **Motors, wheels, motor driver, microcontroller, etc are not included**!

You'll probably want to also pick up the following to complete the robot body.

- [Two DC Gearbox 'TT' Motors](https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-gearbox-motor-tt-motor-200rpm-3-to-6vdc.html)
- [Two 'TT' Motor wheels (we have a range!)](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=tt%20motor%20wheel)
- [One ball caster](https://core-electronics.com.au/ball-caster-3-4-metal-ball.html)
 
Then you will also need a microcontroller and motor driver that can drive the 5V DC motors. Adafruit recommend one of the following

- [Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper Shield for Arduino](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-motor-stepper-servo-shield-for-arduino-v2-kit-v2-0.html)
- [Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper FeatherWing](https://core-electronics.com.au/dc-motor-stepper-featherwing-add-on-for-all-feather-boards.html)
- [Adafruit DC Motor & Stepper HAT for Raspberry Pi](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-dc-stepper-motor-hat-for-raspberry-pi-mini-kit.html)
- [Adafruit TB6612 DC Motor driver](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-tb6612-1-2a-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board.html) (can drive two DC motors)
- [Adafruit DRV8833 DC Motor driver](https://core-electronics.com.au/adafruit-drv8833-dc-stepper-motor-driver-breakout-board.html) (can drive two DC motors)
- [Adafruit Crickit](https://core-electronics.com.au/search/?q=crickit) (there are various types)
 
A matching microcontroller or microcomputer is also required!
