The Studica Multi-Mode Smart Servo features all-steel gears and large amounts of torque. This angular programmable Servo can fill a variety of roles on your robot or project. In standard mode, it operates on a +/- 150-degree range. Using the Studica Smart Robot Servo Programmer (sold separately) the Multi-mode Smart Servo can be configured to run in continuous, standard, and custom angular mode. In continuous rotation mode, the servo will have proportional speed control based on the PWM signal that you send with your servo controller.

This kit may be used with older structure and most sensors.  It includes everything required to connect to the collection and sensors. The only other electronic item required may be the SR-Pro Camera.

Includes,

• VMX Robotics Controller
• Titan Quad Motor Controller 
• VMX Cable and Board Pack
• Titan Cable Pack
• Servo Power Block
• Analog Module
• PWM Cable Set

The FTC Drive Base Kit v2 (70400-v2) is available for FIRST teams only and is fully FIRST legal. This is an upgrade from our first version (part # 70400). It includes our new slim mecanum wheels with bearings on all rollers, allowing you to make a wider base robot. It also has 4 NeveRest Orbital 20 Gearmotors with wires, our new Clamping Shaft Hubs, 4 bumpers and more hardware.

The WorldSkills Lyon 2024 Autonomous Mobile Robotics Collection, by Studica, is the authorized collection for the WorldSkills Autonomous Mobile Robotics Competition in Lyon, France, 10-15 September 2024. This collection includes most of the items in the previous competition collection and has 28 new parts. The biggest change is the new 3D Depth Camera, the 360 Degree LiDAR which will bring the competition to the next level for Autonomous Mobile Robotics (AMR).

The collection includes everything you will need to complete a full functioning robot that will be able to compete at Lyon 2024. As in the previous, you will be allowed to create 3D printed parts to make any additional parts needed. Includes the VMX Robotics Controller, which can be programmed in Java, C++, Python, ROS, and LabVIEW. This collection also includes electronics, accessories, motors, servos, mounts, U-Channel, mounting plates, flat brackets, irregular brackets, and flat beams. You'll also find gears, sprockets, pulleys, belts, axles, slides, rack & pinion, wheels, bushings, bearings, coupling, collars, spacers, screws, nuts, and standoffs. (Over 1600 components).

If you already have the 2022 Shanghai/Bordeaux Collection and wish to add only the new items, you can purchase the Lyon 2024 Upgrade Kit

The Studica VMX is a powerful robot controller,

• Enables Tele-op and autonomous control
• Programmable in Java, C++, Python, LabVIEW, and ROS
• Integrates the navX-IMU, a Linux based controller, Gigabit Ethernet, USB3 ports and built-in Wifi/Bluetooth. 
• Can be used an a Robot Control System or Vision/Motion processor
• Supports Open CV, Tensor Flow, SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping 
• Step Files

The Studica VMX leverages five recent key technology developments,

• Highly-integrated, inexpensive, WiFi-enabled, multi-core Linux computing platform with lots of USB IO for expansion
• 32-bit ARM Microcontrollers incorporating sophisticated I/O and digital communications engines
• Low-cost MEMs Inertial Measurement Units (IMUs)
• Powerful software providing rich libraries and tools for developing robot software in C++, Java
• CAN bus for high-speed, real-time communication between devices

The Studica VMX Technology Enables,

• Far richer development environments and tools
  • Because VMX is much more than a robot controller – it is a powerful, Linux-based   desktop computing platform with network/monitor/keyboard/mouse support.
• Very powerful software features
  • State-of-the-art software development GUIs (e.g., VS Code) libraries and tools (drive-  train kinematics, path-planning, vision processing, autonomous navigation,   performance data acquisition/playback)
• Access to cutting-edge sensors (for use outside the competition)
  • VMX’s multitude of modern digital communications interfaces and Linux-based   operating system allow users to directly access most modern devices (e.g., Intel   RealSense tracking and depth cameras and LIDAR

The Titan Quad Motor Controller is a powerful, 4-channel CAN-based motor controller with a built-in fuse-box (for DC motors up to 20A).

Features:

• 4 x Hardware encoder ports – one for each motor
• 2 limit switch ports for each motor
• Fuse box to set manual current limits
• 2x Power extension ports to power other 12VDC devices. I.E.
  • VMX Robotics Controller
  • Servo Power Module
• Built in LED Controller
• 6A power supply for LED’s
• i2c communication port to control LED Controller
• USB ports are updated to USB-C to better support todays cable standards
