Enhances precision with innovative internal packaging
Integrates seamlessly with 1120 Series U-Channel
Eliminates backlash through smooth rotation
Provides 2000 countable events per revolution
Tracks complex movements of skid-steer and mecanum chassis
The ServoCity Odometry Pod (43mm Width, 48mm Wheel) is a sophisticated sensor designed to enhance the precision of robotic localization during autonomous operations. Developed with insights from the goBILDA® R&D team, this odometry pod offers superior performance by utilizing innovative internal packaging instead of traditional gears, ensuring smoother rotation and eliminating backlash. It is engineered for seamless integration with 1120 Series U-Channel, featuring a 48mm diameter wheel that fits perfectly within the channel, rotates beneath the chassis, and navigates small obstacles.
The high-resolution encoder provides precise data without overwhelming the controller, making it ideal for FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) teams. The pod is particularly effective on FTC field surfaces, though its performance on other surfaces should be verified. The odometry pod functions as a 'dead' omni wheel, integrated with an encoder that outputs rotation data as the chassis moves, allowing for accurate tracking of the chassis' position. This makes it an essential component for skid-steer and mecanum chassis configurations, where multiple pods can track complex movements. The programming aspect of odometry involves interpreting sensor data to determine the robot's position and path, with numerous FTC-focused resources available to assist in this process.

If you are not satisfied with a product purchased from the Site, you may request a return within 30 days from the delivery date, unless the product is listed under the Return Exceptions below or is subject to specific return conditions noted on the product page.
This return policy also applies, as a minimum standard, to products sold and fulfilled by third-party vendors through the Marketplace.
European consumers exercising their statutory Right of Withdrawal are subject to different conditions. See the Statutory Right of Withdrawal.
Returns under this policy concern non-defective products. In the case of a confirmed manufacturing defect, remedies are handled under the Warranty terms, at the Vendor's discretion. See the Warranty section.
Return Conditions
To qualify for a refund under the 30-day return policy, all of the following conditions must be met:
A valid Return Authorization (RA) number must be obtained prior to returning the product. Returns without an RA number will be refused.
The RA number is valid for 30 days. The returned item must be received within that period.
The RA number must be included with the return.
Products must be returned in unused, unmodified condition (e.g., no scratches, alterations, missing parts, or signs of installation/use) and in their original packaging, suitable for resale.
Shipping fees are non-refundable. Return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, except in cases of a product confirmed defective through RobotShop's troubleshooting process or of a verified shipping error by RobotShop.
Refunds are processed within 7 days after receipt and inspection of the returned item.
A €100 cleaning fee may apply to domestic robots returned in used or unclean condition.
A 20% restocking fee may apply to large-quantity returns of items ordered specifically for the customer from the manufacturer or not part of RobotShop's standard inventory.
Return Exceptions
The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables * — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly * — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps * — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items * — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
Custom-made, personalized, or special-order items — Products manufactured, configured, adapted, or built to the customer's own specifications and requirements.
On-Demand Items * — Standard catalogue products not stocked by RobotShop and ordered specifically to fulfill a customer request.
* European consumers retain their statutory Right of Withdrawal on these items. Its exercise is subject to the conditions and exclusions set out in the Statutory Right of Withdrawal, and any reimbursement may be reduced to reflect a loss in value resulting from handling beyond inspection.
How to Request a Return Authorization (RA)
While the same return policy applies, these orders require a separate contact process for returns.
Marketplace Vendor Orders → submit a ticket from your account under My Marketplace Tickets to contact the vendor directly.
Note: Marketplace vendor products are normally labelled with SKUs starting with RM, and identified on the product page with the mention "Sold and fulfilled by [Vendor Name]".
