A tracked rover you drive with the Atlas already in your hand. Built on an ESP32-S3, flashed from your browser, and named by you.

Full description
Pioneer takes Atlas off the screen and onto the floor. It's a small tracked rover with no controller of its own. Switch your Atlas to Pioneer mode, connect over Bluetooth, and the dial becomes your throttle and steering wheel.

Two motors, one per track, so it turns in place and spins instead of just rolling forward. If the connection drops, Pioneer stops itself on the spot. It only moves while an Atlas is talking to it.

Every Pioneer gets its own two-word name, like Turtle Blue, so a room full of them never gets crossed up. Flash it from the browser and pick the name yourself from hundreds of options. No Arduino IDE, no command line. Just a USB cable.

Want to build your own? The Pioneer Builder at installatlas.com lays out the rover in 3D, gives you the bill of materials and wiring, and matches the firmware to your build. Open source and yours to modify.

Then take it racing. Pioneer Derby is coming: kart races and battle modes against real people, right in your browser.
