Re: "Halftrack" robot drivetrain

We too were looking at using the half track set up to maneuver the bump, but our lack of experience with tracks has us a little weary of the idea. If the track had some sort of simple suspension, the track would definitely be the way to go. All this said, we are a rookie team and have never worked on anything even remotely this complex before, although I do like the idea of the half track tread system.
