I’ve invested in a new chassis for my robot creations. This is the one I opted for:
from Amazon. It is great quality, strong and well made. Has lots of connection options and the right size for what I want. It is also robust enough to survive the inevitable ‘incidents’ it will no doubt have along the way. In short, I think it is great value for money and very professionally made.
As you can see from the above picture, I have managed to put it together, even though it didn’t come with assembly instructions. Those I found here:

and specifically on this YouTube video – https://youtu.be/WMQ-PyM-PNE
The motor connections are JST 2-pin female connectors so I have also ordered these:
JST PH 2-Pin Cable – Male Header 200mm
to allow easy connection to the motor driver I’ve already played with here:

Once I get all that I can start putting together the controllers and then start writing the code to make it actually move about.
Stay tuned.
