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.
