Lynxmotion - CH3-R

About the CH3-R Walking Robot
The CH3-R robot's round body symmetry makes this a very unique hexapod walker. The three DOF (degree of freedom) leg design provides the flexibility required to walk in any direction! The robot uses 18 HS-475 / HS-485 servos for the legs. The combo kit includes everything you need to make a functional robot except batteries. This is by far the most sophisticated walking robot we have ever offered. It's truly amazing to see in action. This stylish version of our research level robot is perfect for the robotics hobbyist.

The Mechanics
The robot is made from ultra-tough laser-cut Lexan structural components, custom injection molded components, and high-quality aluminum Servo Erector Set brackets.

Controlling the Robot
The combo kit comes with the SSC-32, Bot Board, and BASIC Atom Pro 28. By offloading the servo pulse generation and sequence movement timing to the SSC-32 the BASIC Atom has plenty of power to do some really cool things. The current program (written by Laurent Gay) allows the robot to walk with variable speed, in any direction (translation), or turn in place (rotation), or any combination of the two. The leg lift and ride height is adjustable as well as the gait walking speed. There are preset walking modes for tall grass, tile floor, low profile and normal operation. You can rotate the body in every axis. There are also preprogrammed poses and a sleep mode. All of these are accessible from the controller. Everything is included except the Play Station game controller. We now offer our own (RC-01), or you can use one from MadCatz or Pelican.

PowerPod is the FREE Windows program that completely automates the program creation for the Atom processor. You no longer have to be a computer scientist to play with this level of robotics. The control options are: autonomous, PS2 remote control, RC stick radio control, and TTL serial control from a PC, PDA, or any other microcontroller.

Powering Options
The robot is compatible with the following batteries and chargers.
Chargers
    > NiCad & Ni-MH Universal Smart Charger (USC-01)
Batteries
    > 6.0 Volt Ni-MH 1600mAh Battery Pack (BAT-03)
    > 6.0 Volt Ni-MH 2800mAh Battery Pack (BAT-05)

Important!
To keep costs down we are not providing printed Assembly Guides. They are provided online, so you will need to print them when you order the kits. By providing the Assembly Guides online we can provide more detailed and up to date information than the old hardcopy method allowed.
