You don’t have to use what others used before. You can create from scratch your customized 6WD platform for all-terrain applications. Nevertheless, after you see what makers did with the wild thumper 6-wheel platforms, you will think twice before you get your hands on your pliers and roll up the sleeves.
The Wild Thumper 6-Wheel is a platform designed to run on uneven terrain. The 6 wheels allow a great traction over almost all terrain types and go over larger obstacles. There are several “Wild Thumper” platforms with prices ranging between $450 and $900.
The frame of the platform has lots of room for batteries, actuators, sensors, controllers and other stuff. It’s fully customizable and makes great base stock for a heavy–duty robot.
Here are the projects based on the Wild Thumper 6-Wheel platforms.
