“The Black Gladiator Tracked Robot Chassis is a robust and versatile platform designed for robotics enthusiasts and educators looking to build complex mobile robots. Its standout feature is the durable, tank-like tracks, which provide excellent traction and stability across various terrains, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.”
“Bit of kerfuffle setting the track to the right length. More like it needs a proper tool to remove the track pin. Once assembled it's great. It's now working with an esp32 controller. Better than my previous robot with wheels. The tracked wheels give good grip even on hard floors.”
“Tracks and motor/gearboxes are excellent quality, but the tracks are very hard to adjust
Rest of the kit is mediocre
Idler wheels are especially hard to make fit properly, and the hand full of supplied electrical components are just trash
Overall design is uninspired (only end-idlers and drive sprockets: no road wheels)
.
Not recommended for novices, but a good fixer-upper for a more experienced constructor
.
And the name ? ..... (Cringe!)”
