Abstract: The MecaBot is a robotic, modular and reconfigurable system capable of adding new modules to form various configurations depending on the type of terrain it traverses and the different types of obstacles it has to overcome. This system was designed and implemented in Nueva Granada Military University as a research and education platform. The aim of this reserach is to present the different configurations and possible connection modes that can be achieved according to the desired topology of the module it shows the evolution of the system from the first version to the last making comparisons between versions 3 and 4 mainly, showing the capabilities of each in the configurations for which they were implemented and a description of the components and their functions within the system.
