Starter Kit for Robot Competitions

The Studica Robotics FTC Starter Kit is a comprehensive robotics kit that features a variety of products. This set is ideal for teams wanting to improve their current robots or those that are just looking to get started with FTC. It includes U-Channel, flat beams, square beams, brackets, electronics, and accessories. With these resources, students can craft robots of their own design.

With the FTC Starter Kit creating, building, and prototyping unique designs is a breeze. All items in the FTC Starter Kit are FIRST© legal parts. STEP files are available for every part.  View complete list of parts.

Mecanum Chassis Kit

The FTC Drive Base Kit - v2 is the perfect solution for your next drivetrain. Studica Robotics offers a drive base kit that includes the materials you need to create a mecanum chassis. Our innovative slim mecanum wheels have bearings on all rollers that provide better acceleration due to their lighter weight.

This complete drivetrain kit includes a wide variety of components including 4 NeveRest Orbital 20 Gearmotors with encoder cables, the new Clamping Shaft Hubs, 4 bumpers, and hardware to complete the mecanum chassis.

Slim 100mm Mecanum Wheels

Wheels are comprised of 12 black rollers and are able to move in any direction. Rollers are set at 45° to the axis of rotation of the wheel. The rollers are mounted with steel ball bearings making the roll more fluent. Buy Wheels.   

Strong & Durable Components

Our channel components are 3mm thick 6061-T6 aluminum that is deburred and polished. Components work easily together. The unique design pattern makes it easy to connect the structure, sprockets, motors, and gears. A large center hole makes it possible to integrate flange bearings to provide the ultimate support of shafts and motors.

Structure components for robotics include a large variety of beams, flats, and brackets to allow you to build at multiple angles for unique chassis and mechanisms. A multitude of mounting options for servos and DC motors mounts are available as well as gears, sprockets, pulleys, and chains.

Which Actuator is Best for your Robot?

Actuators are devices that cause an action to happen by converting electric signals into some form of motion. While a multi-mode smart servo creates a precise movement in an angular direction, linear servo RC actuators move a rod on a linear path.

While you could also use a regular or servo motor with a rack and pinion linear slide set to achieve this, the variety of linear servo RC actuators from Studica Robotics can simplify the process. Let's talk about how to choose the linear actuator that best fits the needs of your robot.

A. Linear Servo RC Actuator 140-200: Offers a long stroke length and an extension speed of 6 mm/s. Ideal for creating mechanisms that will handle a relatively substantial amount of weight, such as the base of a multi-stage lift.

B. Linear Servo RC Actuator 140-50: Also offers a long stroke length but has a faster extension speed of 13 mm/s. Ideal for creating mechanisms that look to operate and a quick rate of speed such as an extending arm or as a secondary or tertiary linear slide for a multistage elevator/lift.

C. Linear Servo RC Actuator 50-200: Offers a shorter stroke length of 50 mm and a slow extension speed making it ideal for creating mechanisms handling larger loads while utilizing minimal amounts of space.

D. Linear Servo RC Actuator 50-50: Also offers a shorter stroke length but a faster extension speed making it ideal for applications requiring minimal force such as a small gripper.

Multi-Mode Smart Servo

Our Multi-Mode Smart Servo is a versatile motor that can be used for a wide variety of applications and can operate in two different modes. With the additional arms that are included, they can be used to perform various tasks like acting as the pivot for an arm or platform, and they are light and fast enough to be used for standard angular positioning or in continuous mode. In continuous mode, the servo will spin proportionally based on the input in a CW or CCW direction. In standard mode, the servo will act as a regular servo and have a range of motion of 300°.
