It's time to get back to work! We are beginning to stock up on all the parts that make up RACECARs. Due to the Covid-19 situation, disrupted our supply chains. Thank you for you patience as we begin to get the ball rolling again. 

We will begin shipping RACECAR/J Robot Base Kits and FlatNose Robot Base Kits this month (October 2022). There is a backlog to get through, so ordering now will get you higher priority.

Thank you for you patience as we begin to get the ball rolling again!

RACECAR/J is a powerful platform for robotics research and education. RACECAR/J bases its design on the open-source MIT RACECAR.

RACECAR/J currently provides the robotic base built upon a powerful 1/10-scale car. There are two different configurations available. 

Add compute and sensor components to the RACECAR/J Base Robot kit to complete the autonomous vehicle. For a MIT style RACECAR configuration you will need to add a NVIDIA Jetson Development Kit, a depth camera, such as a Stereolabs ZED camera and a Hokuyo UST-10LX scanning range finder

For both kits, you will also need to add a battery or install a boost/buck voltage converter. This will power the compute and sensor components.

The "FlatNose" RACECAR/J configurations provides more mounting area for other types of sensors. Add a Jetson, a camera (or two) and explore computer vision and machine learning. 

The FlatNose provides a large surface for mounting lidars and other sensors. The RACECAR/J base kit is only for the Hokuyo lidar above.

The FlatNose allows more room for adding alternative lidars. For example, there are holes in the platform for the RPLidar A2.
