Starter Kit for Robot Competitions
The 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-Channels, 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. STEP files are available for every part.
The FTC Drive Base Kit 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.
These slim 100mm Mecanum 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.
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. Here’s a breakdown of Studica Robotics’linear servo RC actuators:
140S-190N Actuator: With a 140mm stroke and 13 mm/s speed, this actuator provides 190N of force. It’s ideal for mechanisms that need both power and speed, such as extending arms or secondary slides in a multistage elevator. It’s powerful enough to suspend a robot on its own.
140S-95N Actuator: This 140mm stroke actuator balances power and speed, with a 13 mm/s speed and 95N force. It’s perfect for lifting and pushing tasks where stability is key. It's slower than the 40N actuator but excels at handling heavier loads. Note: This option is only available while supplies last.
140S-40N Actuator: Featuring a 140mm stroke and fast 26 mm/s speed, this actuator offers 40N of force, making it ideal for fast extensions over long distances, such as in hanging mechanisms.
50S-190N Actuator: This 50mm stroke actuator operates at 6 mm/s and delivers 190N of force, making it suitable for short-distance tasks requiring high load capacity, like cascading slides.
50S-40N Actuator:Compact with a 50mm stroke and 26 mm/s speed, this actuator delivers 40N of force and is perfect for precision tasks like small arms or grippers, as well as pick-and-place mechanisms.
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°.

Robotics for Education
High Schools and Middle Schools (7th and 8th grades) can incorporate the hands-on learning tools into their STEM curriculum to teach math, physics, and computer science. College and Universityrobotics and computer science programs can use the platform to learn about control systems, sensors, programming, and concepts related to artificial intelligence.
Leveraging robotics in education is a powerful tool for teaching STE(A)M concepts and preparing students with invaluable skills. For example, Mobile robotics is increasingly important in the world we live in. Our system is ideal for teaching a wide variety of robotics topics including robot prototyping, field robotics, and autonomous mobile robots.
