Common attachment interface for a firefighting robotic vehicle

A frontend attachment for a firefighting robotic vehicle, the frontend attachment comprising:

• a mount assembly constructed and arranged to attach to a vehicle body of the firefighting robotic vehicle;
• a head assembly constructed and arranged to serve as a frontend of the firefighting robotic vehicle;
• and
• pin hardware constructed and arranged to selectively lock the head assembly to the mount assembly and unlock the head assembly from the mount assembly.

A method of operating a firefighting robotic vehicle, the method comprising:

• fastening a mount assembly to a vehicle body of the firefighting robotic vehicle;
• locking a first head assembly to the mount assembly using pin hardware, the first head assembly being constructed and arranged to serve as a first frontend of the firefighting robotic vehicle;
• and
• after the first head assembly serves as the first frontend of the firefighting robotic vehicle, replacing the first head assembly with a second head assembly using the pin hardware to unlock the first head assembly from the mount assembly and then lock the second head assembly to the mount assembly.
