We have tested our Rhino modules with extensive driving over defenses, t-boning, and aggressive ramming similar to what you can see in AndyMark's own videos.
For us, the track tension spec given in Step 15 on page 4 of the assembly instructions (3/4 inch deflection with 10 kg depressing force) seems about right.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
