We've got a great new range of robot chassis kits now available at The Pi Hut, with a selection of chassis materials and wheel options to choose from.

This is the premium, top-of-the-range MP version with mecanum wheels (M) and a shock-absorbing metal chassis (P) - the ultimate foundation for an advanced robotics project with both mecanum wheels for omnidirectional movement and an aluminium chassis with shock-absorbing features.

The mecanum wheels included in this kit offer new ways to move your robot with your programming, with complex actions at your fingertips.

The robust aluminium shock-absorbing chassis features mounting holes laid out for specific boards and modules, to utilise the most popular components and controllers available, with multiple layers to house controllers, drivers and batteries. The external 1020 aluminium rails also allow you to fit your own 1020-compatible fittings to mount other parts.

The kit includes everything you need for the base of your robot - just add your own microcontroller, motor driver and power/batteries. Some basic tools are even included to get you started.

The design is open source too - head to the resources section below to download design files to make your own additions (great for those with a 3D printer!).

Need inspiration? Tony G created a Raspberry Pi Pico robot with one of these chassis kits, and wrote a great tutorial that provides instructions and code to go with it.

Note: Assembly required. Chassis kit only - microcontroller, motor driver and power source not included.
