CheapBot Robot Body

The CheapBot robot body is an inexpensive robot design for the CheapBot controller (and most any other robot controller). While it's inexpenive, it's still a flexible design robot platform that allows a robot to carry a multitude of sensors (NearSys produces its own line of sensors with the CheapBot Robot in mind).

The CheapBot Robot kit (cheap-body) comes with all the parts needed to make a robot for the CheapBot-14 or CheapBot-18 robot controller. The kit is $38.00 plus $7.00 shipping. Be sure to download the instructions for modifying the new servo motors included in the kit. A partially constructed robot body is available for $48.00 plus $8.00 shipping.
