The RoboRacer Power Board is the power-supply board for RoboRacer / F1TENTH-class 1:10-scale autonomous racing platforms. It was designed by Ambimat Electronics in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania X-Lab to provide clean, organised power distribution for the sensors and compute used in autonomous-systems research and education. The board design has been made open source for the RoboRacer / F1TENTH community, and Ambimat manufactures and supplies it as a ready-to-use board.
The product is now offered under the RoboRacer name. Customers familiar with the earlier F1TENTH Power Board terminology are looking at the same Ambimat Power Board family — the naming has changed, the board has not.
Previously referred to as the F1TENTH Power Board.
This particular listing is the single-quantity, non-RoHS configuration: you receive one RoboRacer Power Board built with standard (non-RoHS) solder paste. It is functionally the same board as every other RoboRacer Power Board listing; the only differences across listings are the solder-paste compliance option and whether you are buying one board or the discounted three-board pack.
Choose this variant when a single board covers your needs and your application or procurement process does not specifically require RoHS-compliant solder paste. If you expect to need three or more boards, the multi-quantity non-RoHS pack offers per-board bulk pricing. If your procurement requires RoHS compliance, select one of the RoHS variants instead.
Reference material for the RoboRacer Power Board — block diagram (V1R2), design files, and user manuals — applies to this board as it does to the rest of the family.
RoboRacer Power Board — the four variants
| Variant | Quantity | Solder paste | Bulk discount | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| RoboRacer Power Board — 1 Qty — Non-RoHS | 1 | Non-RoHS | No | You need a single board and RoHS is not required |
| RoboRacer Power Board — 3 Qty — Non-RoHS — Bulk Pack | 3 (min) | Non-RoHS | Yes | You need three or more boards and RoHS is not required |
| RoboRacer Power Board — 1 Qty — RoHS Compliant | 1 | RoHS compliant | No | You need a single board and RoHS is required |
| RoboRacer Power Board — 3 Qty — RoHS Compliant — Bulk Pack | 3 (min) | RoHS compliant | Yes | You need three or more boards and RoHS is required |
All four are the same RoboRacer Power Board (formerly the F1TENTH Power Board). They differ only by solder-paste compliance and order quantity.
You are viewing: 1 × RoboRacer Power Board, non-RoHS solder paste.
Which version should I buy?
Choose single quantity when you need only one board. Choose multi quantity (3-board bulk pack) when you need three or more boards and want the applicable per-board bulk pricing. Choose RoHS-compliant when your application or procurement process requires RoHS-compliant solder paste. Choose non-RoHS when that requirement does not apply. The board design is the same in every case; these options exist so you can match compliance and quantity to your project without changing the board itself.

Frequently asked questions
What is the RoboRacer Power Board?
It is the power-supply / power-distribution board for RoboRacer / F1TENTH-class 1:10-scale autonomous racing platforms, designed by Ambimat Electronics in collaboration with the University of Pennsylvania X-Lab. It provides organised power for the sensors and compute used in autonomous-systems research and education, and its design has been made open source for the community.
Is the RoboRacer Power Board the same product previously referred to as the F1TENTH Power Board?
Yes. RoboRacer is the current name; F1TENTH is the earlier name for the same Ambimat Power Board family. The name changed — the board did not.
Is the RoboRacer Power Board the same as the F1TENTH Power Board?
Yes. RoboRacer is the current nomenclature for this product family, which was previously referred to as the F1TENTH Power Board. F1TENTH terminology is still recognised on purpose, because it remains widely used across the community, universities, documentation, and existing links. If you are following older documentation or references, you have reached the correct current product. Ambimat is not selling separate "F1TENTH" and "RoboRacer" boards — it is one product family under its current RoboRacer name.
Why do I still see F1TENTH references on some links or documentation?
F1TENTH terminology is intentionally retained for recognition. The community, many universities, and a lot of existing documentation and links still use "F1TENTH", so we keep those references so you can confirm you have reached the correct current product.
Has the Power Board itself changed because the name changed from F1TENTH to RoboRacer?
No. The change from F1TENTH to RoboRacer is a naming change. Nothing in the verified product data indicates an electrical or design change tied to the rename.
What is the difference between the four RoboRacer Power Board variants?
They are the same board offered in four purchasable combinations of two choices: order quantity (a single board, or a three-board bulk pack) and solder-paste compliance (RoHS-compliant or non-RoHS). That gives: 1 Qty Non-RoHS, 3 Qty Non-RoHS, 1 Qty RoHS, and 3 Qty RoHS.
What is the difference between the RoHS and non-RoHS versions?
The difference is the solder paste used in manufacturing: one option uses RoHS-compliant solder paste, the other does not. It is the same board design in both cases.
Does RoHS / non-RoHS change the function of the Power Board?
The distinction relates to the solder-paste / manufacturing compliance option, not to the board's design. Nothing in the verified product data indicates a functional difference between the two.
What does "1 Qty" mean?
You are buying a single board.
What does "Multi Qty" mean?
You are buying the bulk configuration — a multi-board pack ordered together at per-board bulk pricing rather than a single board.
How many boards are included in the multi-quantity option?
The multi-quantity listings apply a minimum of three boards.
Is a bulk discount available?
Yes. The multi-quantity listings offer per-board bulk pricing compared with buying single boards individually.
Does the bulk discount apply to both RoHS and non-RoHS variants?
Yes. There is a multi-quantity bulk listing for both the RoHS and the non-RoHS options.
Can I purchase a single RoHS-compliant board?
Yes — that is the "RoboRacer Power Board — 1 Qty — RoHS Compliant" listing.
Can I purchase three RoHS-compliant boards at bulk pricing?
Yes — that is the "RoboRacer Power Board — 3 Qty — RoHS Compliant — Bulk Pack" listing.
Can I purchase a single non-RoHS board?
Yes — that is the "RoboRacer Power Board — 1 Qty — Non-RoHS" listing.
Can I purchase three non-RoHS boards at bulk pricing?
Yes — that is the "RoboRacer Power Board — 3 Qty — Non-RoHS — Bulk Pack" listing.
Which variant should I select?
Pick your quantity first (one board, or three or more for bulk pricing), then your compliance option (RoHS if your application or procurement requires it, otherwise non-RoHS). The board is the same across all four.
Are all four listings based on the same underlying RoboRacer Power Board design?
Yes. All four are the same Ambimat Power Board design; they differ only by quantity and solder-paste compliance.
Can this board be used by customers familiar with the previous F1TENTH platform / nomenclature?
Yes. It is the same board that the F1TENTH community has used; it is now offered under the RoboRacer name.
What should I do if I am uncertain whether my organisation requires the RoHS variant?
Check with whoever owns your procurement or compliance requirements, since RoHS needs are set by your organisation or application rather than by the board itself. If in doubt, contact Ambimat and we can help you match the right listing to your requirement.
Which RoboRacer Power Board variant am I currently viewing?
This listing is for 1 × RoboRacer Power Board manufactured using non-RoHS solder paste.
