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. The robot, even with the small size for throwability, also provides modularity allowing, for example, different motors and different radios to be changed out or allowing customized designs in a common chassis.
