The Traxster Robot Kit was designed to be used as an indoor educational robotics kit. This readymade platform allows more time for enthusiasts to develop intelligent software (such as vision recognition or localization and mapping). Easy Robot Control using RoboRealm, .NET, or Robotics Studio: The Serializer WL Robot Controller provides a ready-to-use solution to interface the Microsoft™ .NET framework or Microsoft™ Robotics Studio to common robotic hardware. Never before has it been this easy to interface DC motors, servos, analog sensors, single and quadrature encoders, switches/relays, and other devices to the .NET framework and/or Robotics Studio. The all new Serializer WL™ has been designed to allow customers the use of five different serial interfaces (four are interchangeable). The pluggable interface modules include RS-232, USB, Bluetooth, or XBee/XBee Pro. The TTL serial port is built into the base Serializer board and BlueTooth interface included in our all inclusive kits. Aluminum & Stainless Steel! The Traxster features a very rugged anodized aluminum chassis, driven by two DC gear head motors, running on a set of ABS injection molded tracks. All hardware is either aluminum or stainless steel. The Traxster can easily maneuver through carpet and other types of flooring, as well as traverse over small obstacles. The Traxster's skid-steer drive tracks enables it to spin about it's center. Our all inclusive Traxster Kit is an excellent robotics kit for both novice and advance users. You start with all the essential modules you need to learn and extend your capabilities. All you have to do is to download Free resources including .NET framwork, Microsoft Robotic Studio, or RoboRealm's Vision app with RoboRealm's Traxster module, or any other applicable solution you prefer - and you are set to GO! FREE VISION & Traxster Control Module! The guys at RoboRealm have a really cool vision and drive module, that will allow joystick control of Traxster drive system and I/O maniulation (no programming required) for FREE! They have developed a module specifically for controlling the Traxster/Serializer via USB joystick/game controller. Be sure to check this out! Cell phone, PDA, PC Control! The Serializer WL can be controlled by any device featuring a complimentary serial device on the other end (e.g. RS232-to-RS232, USB-to-USB, Bluetooth-to-Bluetooth, XBee-to-XBee). This could be a Personal Computer, a PDA, a Cell Phone, a PC104 board, a Single Board Computer, or a microcontroller.
