fischertechnik, the supplier of toys and educational materials, will be launching several construction kits for the maker scene in March. The Maker Kit Bionic, Maker Kit Car and Maker Kit Omniwheels sets provide an ideal foundation for creative and challenging projects.

The world of information technology is developing at a rapid pace and offers unlimited opportunities. Projects that are particularly visionary and unconventional are created in FabLabs and Makerspaces. fischertechnik now offers a solid foundation with various maker construction kits that each contain a basic chassis for mobile robots. This chassis offers a good basis for making creative builds. 3D print files are provided for common controller brackets so they can be attached to the chassis. 

The modular construction kits provide a wide choice of basic equipment, opening the door to unlimited opportunities. Creative minds can bring their visions to life with robots, sensors, actuators, cameras and controllers.

Maker Kit Bionic provides a unique challenge in the form of a four-legged walking robot that can be built and programmed to move autonomously. The construction kit contains 161 parts, eight of which are servomotors. 

Maker Kit Omniwheels contains a chassis and four mecanum wheels, each of which can be controlled with a gear range and an encoder motor. The smooth surface of the vehicle chassis provides a versatile range of options for customisation.

fischertechnik’s Maker Kit Car set provides a basic setup for a steerable vehicle and contains a vehicle chassis that allows a wide range of extensions to be added. An encoder motor with a differential and an Ackermann steering system with a servo motor are also included in the kit.

The essence of this system lies in its simplicity and versatility. The basic chassis has been designed to make it very easy to add new features and quickly turn any alterations into tangible results.
