We used 4 high torque 12V motors from Pololu. We wanted more torque because the robot might take heavy loads and does not need to move very quickly!
×4
Pololu Stamped Aluminum L-Bracket
L-Bracket used to secure motors onto wooden frame
×4
Pololu Scooter/Skate Wheel 70×25mm
These are the wheels we chose for our robot. We chose them mainly because we wanted to support heavier loads and we knew that we would be testing on hardwood floors. if you're interested in building this robot, and want it to perform better on different terrains, change the wheel size and type.
×4
Pololu Aluminum Scooter Wheel Adapter
This is used to attach the wheel to the motor!
×4

OSH Park Custom fabricated PCB
We used a custom PCB so we did not have to worry about wires going everywhere! Note that when you buy 1 batch from OSH Park, you get 3 PCB's! The Custom Made PCB Information is available in our project.
×2
RGB Diffused Common Cathode
RGB Diffused Common Cathode
RGB LED is used on the custom PCB for indications

Custom parts and enclosures

Si7021 Mount

This is used to mount the Si7021 Temperature+Humidity sensor on the AiRobot. That material used was ABS!
*****Note: it does not fit perfectly because we did not have the sensor when it was designed, nor the time to go back and fix it.

Ultrasonic Mount

This is used to mount the Ultrasonic Sensors to the AiRobot. Material used was ABS!

AiRobot Wallmount Sensor PCB

This is a DipTrace board file for the AiRobot Wallmount Sensor PCB. This allowed us to avoid messy wires!
