In this context, the deployed robots are expected to fulfill land, underwater, and flying cooperative tasks which emulate real\u2010world situations inspired by the 2011 Fukushima accident.<\/jats:p><jats:p>Participation of the Tuscany Robotics Team at ERL Emergency Robots 2017 was deeply affected by damage to (and resulting unavailability of) the unmanned ground vehicle to be used in the competition. This damage occurred 3 days before the challenge. An entirely new working mobile platform was built from scratch using a low\u2010cost chassis. It was able to compete with the other participants in the challenge and achieved various tasks (<jats:inline-graphic xmlns:xlink=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/1999\/xlink\" xlink:href=\"graphic\/rob21855-math-0001.png\" xlink:title=\"urn:x-wiley:15564959:media:rob21855:rob21855-math-0001\"\/> of the tasks completed by the best performer).<\/jats:p><jats:p>The paper provides a complete description of the work carried out and the system used during the competition.
