Description
Swapping wheels for tracks changes how a robot behaves on the ground — grip, turning, and how it copes with uneven surfaces. Because the tracks are detachable and fit the same chassis, students can run the same program on both configurations and compare the result.
Key features
- Detachable caterpillar tracks swap between tracked and wheeled in minutes
- Track walking steady movement over surfaces that defeat wheels
- Web page and WiFi app control the same control modes as the base car
- Same chassis a direct like-for-like comparison of drive systems
Learning resources
Programming: ACE Code, Arduino, Python
Tutorial languages: English, Chinese, Spanish, Czech
Works with
The ACEBOTT ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001). The pack is an add-on and is not a standalone robot.
Please note
This is an expansion pack. It requires the ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001), which is sold separately.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does this work on its own?
No. It is an expansion pack for the ESP32 Smart Car Starter Kit (QD001) and needs that base kit to run.
Can I switch back to wheels?
Yes. The tracks are designed to be detachable, so the same chassis can run as a tracked robot or back on its Mecanum wheels.
Why teach tracked drive as well as wheels?
Tracks and wheels behave differently on grip, turning and rough ground. Running the same program on both is a clean way to show that mechanics, not just code, decides how a robot moves.
