The RoboRacer Core Kit removes the hardware sourcing and assembly effort that can slow down autonomous-vehicle development. Instead of spending weeks sourcing parts, assembling hardware, and troubleshooting basic hardware issues, teams receive a fully assembled, wired, and hardware-tested vehicle platform for 1:10-scale robotic vehicles, with the sensors, compute, and power hardware installed and validated. This gives academic programmes and research labs a predictable, standardised hardware platform for faster deployment into classrooms and labs, while allowing teams to configure and develop their own software stack according to their requirements.
RoboRacer is the current name for this 1:10-scale autonomous-racing platform family; teams familiar with F1TENTH-class vehicles will recognise the same class of platform under the RoboRacer name.
Major parts included (assembled, wired, and tested as one vehicle):
- Jetson Orin Super Nano — onboard compute hardware
- MK IV VESC — motor control, steering, wheel odometry and IMU
- MDF base plate — laser-cut equipment deck
- Hokuyo LiDAR — 270° planar laser scan
- Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis — 1:10-scale platform
- Power Distribution Unit — Ambimat AE170 board (regulated 19 V, 12 V and 5 V rails)
- 3S battery — included for India orders only
- Battery charger — included for India orders only
India vs international: India shipments include the Traxxas chassis, compatible 3S battery, and corresponding battery charger. International quotations are supplied without battery and charger (excluded due to shipping restrictions — customers source them locally). The Traxxas chassis may be supplied with the kit or sourced locally depending on preference and availability; when sourced locally, an optional chassis discount may apply as confirmed in the quotation. Full commercial detail is on roboracer.ambimat.com.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RoboRacer Core Kit?
It is a fully assembled and pre-tested autonomy system for 1:10-scale robotic vehicles, with sensors, compute, and the Ambimat AE170 power distribution unit integrated and tested on a Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis.
Who is the Core Kit for?
Academic programmes, research labs, and teams working on autonomous 1:10-scale vehicles who want a standardised, ready-to-use platform instead of sourcing and integrating hardware themselves.
What does the kit include?
Major parts: Jetson Orin Super Nano, MK IV VESC, MDF base plate, Hokuyo LiDAR, Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis, and Ambimat AE170 Power Distribution Unit. For India orders, a 3S battery and battery charger are also included. For international orders, battery and charger are excluded and must be sourced locally.
Is the kit assembled and tested before shipping?
Yes. Every item arrives mounted, wired and tested together as one vehicle — not as a box of components to integrate.
What problem does the Core Kit solve?
It saves teams weeks of time spent sourcing parts, assembling hardware, and getting all components working together, so they can focus on algorithms, performance, and research or coursework outcomes.
Is "RoboRacer" related to F1TENTH?
RoboRacer is the current name for this class of 1:10-scale autonomous-racing platform. Teams familiar with F1TENTH-class vehicles will recognise the same class of platform under the RoboRacer name.
Does the Core Kit include the RoboRacer Power Board?
The kit includes the Ambimat AE170 Power Distribution Unit (regulated 19 V, 12 V and 5 V rails). Standalone RoboRacer Power Board listings on this store are for customers who need Ambimat power boards separately; contact Ambimat if you need a like-for-like part match before ordering.
What scale of vehicle is the kit designed for?
1:10-scale robotic / autonomous vehicles.
How is the kit supplied?
As a single-quantity kit (one complete kit per unit).
Are the chassis, battery, and charger included?
The Traxxas Slash VXL 4×4 chassis is part of the complete kit configuration. For India, the 3S battery and battery charger are included. For international shipments, battery and charger are excluded due to shipping restrictions and must be sourced locally; the chassis may be supplied with the kit or sourced locally (optional discount may apply — confirmed in the quotation).
