Coming soon: Surveillance robot with a scissor lift twist

Complete with a 38 inch. scissor lift, 360+ pan/tilt camera, and black paint, our new Scissor Lift Surveillance Robot is perfect for conducting thorough surveillance. The batteries powering the lift and camera system stay charged for over 8 hours, making this an ideal robot for stakeouts and other hostile situations that require patience and long battery life. The foundation of this robot consists of our wide IG42 robot chassis and four 10 inch pneumatic tires, providing trusted stability and structural integrity to keep the robot from tipping, even when the lift is fully elevated.

That’s all you get for now. Look for this robot next week in our online store!

Electric scissor lifts and wheeled robots

We recently rolled out a new line of electric scissor lifts. No, not the scissor lifts you’re accustomed to seeing at construction sites that cost thousands. These scissor lifts are unique, affordable and specifically designed for our robots and camera systems. You can use these as stand-alone devices and even as stand-alone surveillance systems; however, they become a valued addition to a robot used for surveillance and object detection as they expand and contract quickly and quietly, providing more precise surveillance with a dimension pan/tilt camera systems cannot achieve alone. As for camera systems, these lifts were fabricated to fit our standard and heavy duty 360+ pan/tilt camera systems.

Outside of the electric scissor lifts, we have added a few new robots to our line of wheeled robots. Check out our brand new Enclosed 4WD Robot with 42mm gear motors.

New engineering services that will turn your idea into reality

We take pride in the holistic approach required to develop robots. it requires a strong team of electrical, software, and mechanical engineers along with skilled welders and fabricators.Robotics Engineering Services

If building robots was a sport, it would be the ultimate team sport. Strong communication, meticulous organization, and innovation are all key factors and you can’t create professional robots without them. Our 20 years of experience developing custom robots has turned us into a versatile company capable of providing quality and affordable services related to robotics.

Here’s a quick glance at what we now offer.

Mechanical Engineering and Prototyping – Many companies offer design services. We can do the design, fabrication, and testing from our facility. This allows for a quick turn around at an affordable price.

Electronics Engineering – We can provide a complete product development process including: conceptualization requirements, specification, system-level design, board level design, hardware prototyping and firmware development.

Software Engineering – We can make your robot autonomous by using .NET, Windows Embedded, MikroC and Linux.

CNC Services and Welding – We offer CNC services from plasma cutting to routing and bending. If you need to create a prototype, part, or simply want some metal cut, we have the 10,000 square foot facility to handle your project.

Overkill having anger management issues

As we posted last week, we’ve created a unique robot with a 24HP V Twin with hydraulic motors and pumps. This beast is a true robot. Notice the remote start up and control.

This video shows Overkill in it’s element. Running over trees, crashing through water; this robot is fit for the ugliest terrain.

Nothing wrong with a little Overkill

Our latest project, Overkill. This robot has a 24HP V Twin with hydraulic motors and pumps. Still has some work needed with control system to control RPM and hydraulic demands. Looking like its got plenty of power and a top speed of about 15mph!
