Bridget is powered by four golf-cart batteries situated in the Power and Control Module. The Power and Control Module distributes the power to the locomotion system and the instruments.
Bridget has three suspension bogies (one on each side and one at the rear) to make sure that all six wheels are in contact with the ground, providing maximum grip or traction. Her six solid aluminium wheels have stainless steel treads called grousers, that bite into the surface.  The chassis and frame are also made from aluminium which is light and strong.
Bridget has six wheel drive (6WD) and the four corner wheels provide steering.  She can steer like a normal car but can also turn on the spot, namely do point-turns. Inside the wheel hubs, there are electric motors and gearboxes. Motor car gearboxes typically have ratios of around 4 or 5 to 1. Each of Bridget's 6 gearboxes (one in each wheel) have a ratio of 1800 to 1!  This gives her lots of torque which means she can pull TV presenters like Nick Crane from BBC's Coast programme along the sand with little effort (see broadcast July 2011).  However, top speed is limited to around 150 metres  per hour!
