RC ROVER® REV9-18 Unmanned Ground Vehicle 


REV9-18 Unmanned Ground Vehicle continues to evolve, maintaining a clear lead when it comes to man portable form, function, and value. As a proven unmanned system and robotics platform deployed world-wide since 2002, the REV9 series of unmanned vehicles have been delivering proven performance and value to professionals around the world. 

 

REV9 is modular, customizable from the ground up, and easily expandable, available in three cconfigurations too start with:


- Almost Ready To Run (ARTR): kit includes complete chassis

- Ready To Run (RTR): Kit includes ARTR plus operator radio ideal for full remote navigation upon arrival.

- Ready For Operation (RFO): kit includes RTR plus ground station and transportation case, ready for turn-key operation. 






Each REV9 chassis is made of laser cut, deep welded, and painted (or optionally, anodized) aerospace grade material, with a footprint small and light enough to make it an ideal man-portable UGV, while large enough to allow for optimum stability, terrain traction, and payload capacity.  REV9-18 comes with top surface access panels which maybe sealed optionally for water resistance and temporary submergence in shallow pools of water. REV9-18 payload may be installed on top or side of the chassis or internally. RC Rover® REV9 Unmanned Systems are Proudly made in the USA.


Selecting which UGV or configuration to chose, depends on intended use and project requirements.


Clear distinctions between REV9-16 and REV9-18 UGV include:



• The REV9-18 has a longer 18" chassis, rendering more surface-mount space for payload. It handles steep inclinations and slick surfaces better due to its treaded rubber track  drive system, climbs short stairs, smoothly with outstanding traction and accuracy.


• The REV9-18 has a longer 18" chassis, rendering more surface-mount space for payload. It handles steep inclinations and slick surfaces better due to its treaded rubber track  drive system, climbs short stairs, smoothly with outstanding traction and accuracy.


• The REV9-16 has a shorter 16" chassis and higher ground clearance (about 4" depending on orientation) therefore allowing it to pass taller obstacles, and to operate upside-down/down-side up.


• Both vehicles come with top surface access panels which maybe permanently sealed as an option to allow drive-through water.REV9 payload may be installed on top or side panels or internally.

Durability

Resists momentary shocks, impacts, snow and rain, external voltage spikes, solvents, fire, hazmat, and harsh environments


Intelligence!

All REV9 RFO Systems ship with switchable RC / PC controllers. This feature accommodates native system expansion and integration for controlled RC or PC use as well as full autonomous or semi-autonomous waypoint based navigation. 


Precision and Speed

REV9 can "turn on a dime" while moving at speeds of few inches per minute or up to 7 miles per hour. Speeds fo 30+MPH maybe achieved by utilizing upgrade component and optional equipment sold separately. 


Footprint

At only 18" x 12" x 4" (REV9-18) and 16" x 12" x 4" (REV9-16).


Strength & Durability

REV9 unmanned vehicles are built to resist momentary shocks, impacts, snow / rain, external voltage spikes, solvents, fire, hazmat, and harsh environments, with enough traction to momentarily pull a rolling chassis ten times its weight. 


Payload capacity

Bench tested at peak 200 LBS of payload.

Suggested payload capacity not to exceed 30 LBS. 

 

Two Step Maintenance

 

Step 1: Clean machine after each use. Step 2: Keep batteries charged at all time. That's it!

 

For REV9 systems with marine-sealed chassis, , simply hose down the UGV after each use and wipe dry. For non-sealed REV9 cleaning, use a damp towel to clean, and a dry towel to dry the chassis and payload.

 

Repair and Replacement

All REV9 Parts are replaceable. Repairs requiring simple component swap may be filed-performed by operator. Tires and tracks may be repaired by operator or by the local lawn and garden shop. Track Repair Kit is also available for field repairs. Electronics and drive system components must be repaired or replaced by an authorized REV9 technician/facility.
