There is provided a robotic vehicle (100) for operating in a confined space, such as under a floor of a building, for example a house. The robotic vehicle (100) comprises a chassis (102) having a front (F) and a rear (R) defining a longitudinal direction extending between the front (F) and the rear (R), the robotic vehicle (100) for movement in the longitudinal direction. The robotic vehicle (100) further comprises a plurality of first parts (116a, 116b, 16c, 116d) for a respective plurality of release mechanisms (166), the first parts (116a, 16b, 116c, 116d) each connected to the chassis (102) and each release mechanism (166) for securing a respective wheel (160a, 160b, 160c, 160d) to the chassis (102). Each first part (116a, 116b, 116c, 116d) provides a mounting point for the respective wheel 10 (160a, 160b, 160c, 160d) away from the front (F) or the rear (R) of the chassis (102). Each release mechanism (160) is operable by an operator to release the respective wheel (160a, 160b, 160c, 160d) from the chassis (102) for separate removal of the wheels (160a, 60b, 160c, 160d) and the robotic vehicle (100) from the confined space.
