Pirate-4WD Mobile Platform is a robot experiment platform developed by DFRobot. This platform is suitable for using the Arduino controller, which is widely used in the world. It is very easy to program and control with Arduino controller, and it is suitable for robot competitions and related research projects.
The Pirate-4WD Mobile Platform is a four‑wheel‑drive robot platform designed by DFRobot. It uses a high‑strength aluminum alloy chassis, high‑speed motors, and rubber wheels, making it suitable for indoor flat‑surface movement. The platform can be controlled by various microcontrollers, especially the widely used Arduino.
This manual provides the platform’s features, required tools, step‑by‑step assembly instructions for the motor, battery holder, power switch, plates, and wheels, as well as a complete parts list. It also notes the components that are not included, such as AA batteries and the controller. This manual is written in Chinese.
