HiTec RoboNova-1 :: Product Overview
Product Overview
New Era for Edutainment Robot
Hitec Robotics is proud to announce ROBONOVA-I. This exciting new humanoid
robot offers educators, students and robotic hobbyists a complete robot package.
The stable ROBONOVA-I can walk, run, do flips, cartwheels, dance moves and
once programmed, is ready to compete in any Robo One Class “J” competition. Available
two ways, as a kit, so you can enjoy building your robot yourself, or as a pre-assembled, “RTW”, “ready
to walk” instant gratification robot.
Easy to Build
Your ROBONOVA-I kit was designed for easy assembly in 6 to 8 hours using only
a screwdriver.
Servo Motors
This fully articulating, 12" high, mechanical man is controlled with 16
powerful HSR-8498HB digital servos built specifically for the ROBONOVA-I by
Hitec. These custom servos feature “set pin” locking of the servo
arms for easy assembly, over-voltage current protection, super strong Karbonite
gear trains and “feedback” technology for simple programming.
Control Boards
Micom Board with Flexible Interface
The control board is the heart of the ROBONOVA-I. Secured to the back of the
robot under a strong plastic case, the control board can operate up to 24 servos
and 16 accessory modules. Optional devices will eventually include gyro’s,
acceleration sensors, speech synthesis modules and operational devices such
as Bluetooth controllers and R/C transmitters and receivers. This flexible
and sophisticated interface allows the user to customize ROBONOVA-I into the
robot of their dreams.
Metal Framework
The custom gold anodized metal servo brackets serve as strong and lightweight
exoskeleton. ROBONOVA-I also features durable plastic body case components
that protect the control board and battery from damage.
Battery and Charger
Powering the ROBONOVA-I is a 5 cell, environmentally friendly NiMH rechargeable
battery that delivers around 1 hour of operational time. Other battery options
can include 7.4 volt 2 cell Lithium Polymer battery packs when used with
a 6 volt regulator. The included D/C to D/C charger features a protection
circuit to help prevent battery charging mishaps.
