You guys might really wanna watch out for the Rough Terrain and the Ramparts, because your Tank Chain might encounter somewhat sharp metal edges on those elements. My suggestion? Take along a couple replacement treads. Not just a few links, but the complete tread, so that if your tread wears off or breaks, you can replace it. Also, make your pit crew and possibly your floor team practice replacing it so they know what to do at competition.

Just a few thoughts.
The only problem with bringing extra is that it is super expensive. Getting a set well surpasses $500.
