The platform variants RT3, RT4 and RT6 (RT for "Rough Terrain") are each equipped with 3, 4 or 6 wheels, plus the VolksBot Indoor with 2 active and 2 passive wheels and the VolksBot XT (XT for "Extreme Terrain") ) also with 6 wheels, but in contrast to the RT6 with a lower payload and flexibly mounted wheel suspensions. These allow the model to climb stairs.
