Abstract: A two wheeled throwable robot comprises an elongate chassis with two ends, a motor at each end, drive wheels connected to the motors, and a tail extending from the elongate chassis. The chassis split length wise and comprised of a pair of elongate portions, a rear portion and a forward portion. Adjoining respective surfaces with interfacing portions are sealed with a gasket or sealing material therebetween and provide a robust juncture. The rear portion having a deep recess and sub recess for containing and securing the pair of motors with brackets, and batteries with brackets. The forward part having a shallow recess with a pcb secured therein having control circuitry. The shallow component has a high degree of structural strength with a central region projecting forwardly and further having flattened forward facing end portions on each lateral side of the central region.
