The Robotic Moving Target System (R-MTS) includes the T20 (two robots on the left) which has two wheels and weighs 400 pounds and the T40 which weighs 520 pounds and has four wheels. Both systems have armor plating on their chassis that can withstand 5.56mm and 7.62mm bullets. Above the armored chassis are the targets, lifelike, 3D plastic mannequins that can withstand hundreds of shots. - The Robotic Moving Target System (R-MTS) includes the T20 (two robots on the left) which has two wheels and weighs 400 pounds and the T40 which weighs 520 pounds and has four wheels.
