Understanding Part Numbers

FIRST Tech Challenge Chassis Configurator


Structure & Usage

The foundation of this drive base is a set of aluminum plates, brackets, and struts that provide a sturdy frame to build upon. All of the holes in the sheet metal are on a global 16 mm pattern, which integrates with numerous structure components across several vendors.
The cross plate can also be moved into a number of alternate locations to best suit your robot's configuration needs. Without motors and wheels, the chassis is about 4 pounds.

Performance, Rugged, Configurable

The MecanAM Chassis was designed with the FIRST Tech Challenge community in mind. The usage doesn't stop there, however, it can work well for many other robotic competition platforms of similar size. Years of lessons from designing, building, and competing with championship-winning drive systems have gone into this robust drive system that integrates well with teams' existing FTC parts.
