XR-B2, also known as the Little Green Machine II, is my second attempt at a fire fighting robot for the Trinity Fire Fighting Robot Contest.

The robot failed to qualify but ran a lot better than last years, with a little more development time and a better drive train LGM3 should be a solid competitor next year.

See technical details of LGM2 here.
