Features
The VMX Smart Mobile Platform was built for the robotics trade at the 2022 WorldSkills Competition. It uses the officially designated controller and combines many reliable peripherals: a sturdy, stable structure, precise motors and encoders, distance sensors, and a large-capacity battery for long runtime. There is ample room on top of the platform for any extra mechanisms users need to add (for example, a robotic arm or ball-gripping mechanism), and it provides reliable vision recognition, so users can focus on functions and programming rather than hardware or software problems.
