MR-B3RB History

MR-B3RB is a kit of kits

History

MR-B3RB is short for Mobile Robotics - Buggy3 Revision B. This is the second revision to a robotic vehicle called MR-Buggy3 introduced in 2023. Some people didn't like calling a product "buggy". So even though Buggy3 is a brave name, we decided to instead make it MR-B3RB as it is a nice and friendly robot like R2D2.

We took lessons learned from that platform and applied them as an upgrade for 2024.

The upgrades of the MR-B3RB are:

  • Uses the same rugged metal base RC car, with readily available replacement and upgrade parts

  • No need to change the steering servo

  • Upgraded BLDC motor with gear reduction, integrated ESC (motor controller) and quadrature encoder output that can be used for vehicle odometry

  • Metal upper chassis that can be removed as a module

  • Power distribution board with additional connector matching and power supply for boards and servos.

  • Removeable mounting plate for companion computer, real time processors, communications radios and any other add on components

  • RGB addressable lighting

  • Optional upgrade to plastic sides, front, rear and lidar arch mount

  • Optional GPS / remote Magnetometer/ arming button

Currently this is the PRE-Production version, there will still be some updates coming to improve the modularity of the top plate, and provide additional mounting for user added 3d printed components.
