Important notes for product usage
The high-speed moving chassis, high-speed rotating friction wheel and the projectiles launched by them may cause a
certain amount of personal injury and property damage. Please exercise caution during use.
The "notes" mentioned in this manual are important and should be strictly followed.
1.
The robot is not waterproof. It must not come into contact with any liquid.
2.
After it is powered on, the robot performs an internal self-check, and can only be operated after the self-check is
completed.
3.
To move the AI robot at high speed, operate it in a spacious, unmanned area. The robot must not collide with hard
objects, such as walls, at full speed.
4.
Projectiles must not be launched at people. After the projectile speed is adjusted, the optimal testing environment is to
launch it at a box with shock-absorbing materials such as cloth bags.
5.
After projectiles have been launched and if the robot will not be used for a long time and personnel are present in
front of the muzzle, the friction wheel motor should be turned off to prevent any accidents.
6.
Any shooting battle must be carried out in a sealed area with a two-meter high fence in the presence of a skilled operator.
7.
After each use, projectiles must be emptied from the magazine to prevent any personal injury caused by improper
operation.
8.
The battery must be removed during long periods of non-use and stored in accordance with the storage methods
described in the “M600-Series Intelligent Flight Battery User Safety Guidelines v1.0”
9.
The standard intelligent battery must be used (battery model no.: TB47S).
10.
When disassembling, the screws should be tightened using appropriate force. The blue gel used on the screws is a
disposable thread-locking fluid, which must be used in appropriate amounts for fastening the screws during
disassemblage.
11.
During transportation, the gimbal must be fixed for two degrees of freedom and the chassis with four drive wheels. The
battery must also be removed and the magazine emptied.
If you experience any problems during use that cannot be solved, please contact RoboMaster for assistance.

I. Introduction
The RoboMaster AI Robot 2020 Standard Version is comprised of the Chassis Module, Expansion Module, Gimbal
Module, Launch Module and Referee System Module.
The robot’s Chassis Module includes a set of Mecanum wheels which provide omni-directional movement to the robot.
The robot’s Expansion Module is an expansion platform installed on the Chassis Module that can be equipped with
external controllers (e.g. MiniPC, Manifold, etc.) and sensors (e.g. cameras, LiDAR, etc.), and includes a set of bumpers
around the robot that effectively mitigate the impact of any collision on the robot and significantly enhance the robot’s
service life. The robot’s Gimbal Module is able to complete rotational movements in the pitch and yaw degrees of
freedom, which enhances the flexibility and battle ability of the robot. The robot’s Launch Module is able to launch
RoboMaster 17mm projectiles. The robot’s Referee System Module contains sensors that can detect the value of HP
deduction suffered by the robot, and the Referee System Module will automatically power off and simulate the robot’s
defeat when the robot’s HP has been reduced to zero. It can operate multiple robots on the designated site when engaging
in designed battles.
Open-source control programs and complete development documents should be provided for the robot to facilitate the
developer in carrying out secondary development. The use of USB, CAN and UART as external communication interfaces
is supported, as external controllers (e.g. MiniPC, Manifold, etc.) can be used more easily to control robots, as users will
thus have more flexibility and be able to create a unique and fully automated robot solution.

2.2 Chassis
The robot’s chassis is a motion platform based on the omni-directional movement technology of Mecanum wheels,
which enables movements in multiple directions including forward, traversing, diagonal, rotational movements and their
combinations.
The Chassis Module powers four-wheel drive using the RoboMaster M3508 P19 Brushless DC Gear Motor. For the
technical specifications of the motor and the ESC, please see the “RoboMaster M3508 P19 Brushless DC Gear Motor
User Guide” and “RoboMaster C620 Brushless DC Motor Speed Controller User Guide” in the reference document
pack.

2.3 Installation of Sensors
Mounting holes for the sensor holder are available on the yaw axis of the gimbal. You can install the bracket based on
the following mounting hole arrangement.
Mounting holes for the sensor holder are available on both the side (above the armor plate) and front of the chassis. You
can install the bracket based on the following mounting hole arrangement.

A:Mounting hole for installing bracket of right sensor B: Mounting hole for installing bracket of front sensor
C:Mounting hole for installing bracket of left sensor
2.4 2-Axis Gimbal
A 2-axis gimbal is installed between the robot’s chassis and Launching Mechanism. The robot moves around the pitch
axis and the yaw axis.
Pitch axis motion range:±25°(mechanical limit of rotating angle).
Yaw axis motion range: ±90°(mechanical limit of rotating angle).
The 2-axis gimbal uses mechanical limits to control the motion range, as shown in the figure below:
