The "B" is also one of the few robots entered that is bi-modal, in that it can operate in two orientations. The robot has a tubular steel frame and aluminum armor plate; top speed with direct drive gearboxes is over 45 MPH. For Robotica, it is configured with 3:1 gearing to increase available torque.
