Remote controlled inspection vehicle utilizing magnetic adhesion to traverse nonhorizontal, nonflat, ferromagnetic surfaces

A remote-controlled vehicle, comprising:

• at least one frame;
• a pair of drive modules removably secured to said at least one frame, each of said drive modules having a continuous track, means for providing locomotive force to said continuous track, said drive module further defining a longitudinal axis and including means for permitting said continuous track to pivot around an axis parallel to said longitudinal axis.

A remote-controlled vehicle, comprising:

• at least one frame having a longitudinal beam;
• a pair of drive modules removably secured to said at least one frame, each of said drive modules having a continuous track, and a motor dimensioned and configured to transmit locomotive force from said motor to said continuous track, each of said drive modules further being selectively mountable on said frame in an orientation selected from the group consisting of said motor adjacent to said longitudinal beam and said track adjacent to said longitudinal beam;
• wherein each of said drive modules includes a pair of end braces, and said frame includes a pair of ledges, each of said ledges being dimensioned and configured to removably secure one of said end braces.
