Claim 0:
1. An inspection robot, comprising:
an inspection chassis; and
a drive module coupled to the inspection chassis, the drive module comprising:
a plurality of magnetic wheels, each magnetic wheel having a contact surface below an inspection side of the inspection chassis;
a motor;
an electromagnetic sensor coupled to the motor;
