The Zumo chassis kit


The Pololu Zumo chassis is a small, tracked robot platform, less than 10 cm on each side. It allows you to build custom robotic applications by connecting a variety of Micro Metal Gear motors to get a combination of torque and speed. The Zumo chassis can be purchased as a kit to build our Raspberry Pi wireless controlled robot.

The Zumo Chassis Kit contains the following mechanical components, shown in Figure 5-1:

  • Zumo chassis main body
  • 1/16″ black acrylic mounting plate
  • Two drive sprockets
  • Two idler sprockets
  • Two 22-tooth silicone tracks
  • Two shoulder bolts with washers and M3 nuts
  • Four 1/4″ #2-56 screws and nuts
  • Battery terminals
