Do not push BUNKER directly. When charging, make sure the ambient temperature is above 0℃. 5.Maintenance Regularly check the tension of the hanging crawler, and tighten the crawler every 150~200h. After every 500 hours of operation, the bolts and nuts of each part of the car body should be inspected.

1 BUNKER Introduction BUNKER is designed as a multi-purpose tracked chassis with different application scenarios considered: simple and sensitive operation, large development space, adapt to various fields of development and application, independent suspension system, high payload and suspension, strong climbing ability, can climb stairs.
Communication interface 1.3 Required for development FS RC transmitter is provided (optional) in the factory setting of BUNKER, which allows users to control the chassis of robot to move and turn; CAN and RS232 interfaces on BUNKER can be used for user’s customization.
2 The Basics This section provides a brief introduction to the BUNKER mobile robot platform. It is convenient for users and developers to have a basic understanding of BUNKER chassis. Description of electrical interface The interface at rear end is shown in Figure 2-1, where Q1 is CAN and 48V power supply aviation interface;...
S1 is the throttle button to control the forward and backward of BUNKER; S2 controls the rotation, POWER is the power button, and it can be turned on at the same time. It should be noted that when the remote controller is turned on, SWA, SWB, SWC, SWD all need to be at the top.
As shown in Figure 2.4, the vehicle body of BUNKER is in parallel with X axis of the established reference coordinate system. Following this convention, a positive linear velocity corresponds to the forward movement of the vehicle along positive x-axis direction and a positive angular velocity corresponds to positive right-hand rotation about the z-axis.
Basic operating procedure of remote control: After the chassis of BUNKER mobile robot is started correctly, turn on the RC transmitter and select the remote-control mode. Then, BUNKER platform movement can be controlled by the RC transmitter. 3.2 Charging BUNKER is equipped with a standard charger by default to meet customers' recharging demand.
