The 6 Wheel Tank DIY Robot Chassis Kit is a six-wheel-drive robot platform built around dual shaft BO motors rated at 200 RPM and 0.35 kg·cm torque. It operates from 3V to 12V DC, with 9V as the rated supply. Six BO motor wheels arranged in a tank-style layout give the platform stable contact with the ground across rough, uneven, and outdoor terrain. The 6wd rover chassis kit is designed for engineering students and robotics builders who need a multi-wheel platform that handles more terrain types than a standard 2WD or 4WD chassis.
A motor driver like L298N handles only two motors per chip — driving all six requires three L298N chips or a higher-capacity driver board. Plan your power supply accordingly before assembly. The non-obvious advantage of this chassis is that the tank layout allows skid steering — turning is achieved by running left and right wheels at different speeds, which eliminates the need for a separate servo-based steering mechanism entirely.
The 6 wheel rover for robotics is popular among engineering students for Arduino obstacle avoidance rovers, terrain exploration projects, and college robotics competition entries. The rc chassis kit for projects mounts Arduino, sensor boards, and battery packs directly onto the platform without custom fabrication.
StemVolt provide this kit as part of its Robotics kits for projects, helping students understand motion control, drivetrain mechanics, and robotics fundamentals through hands-on learning in STEM projects.
