1. A robotic drive system for driving one or more elongated medical devices, the robotic drive system comprising:
a linear member; and
at least four device modules coupled to the linear member, wherein each device module is independently controllable to move linearly along the linear member; wherein
the at least four device modules are configured to be switched between a first configuration where each device module is populated with a corresponding elongated medical device and a second configuration where a subset of the at least four device modules is populated with a corresponding elongated medical device, and
the first configuration is a triaxial configuration.
