I attacked a really rough draft of the basic concept.

This is the way that the Technokat track drives have been for the past few years. It's always been a very slight curve, but when the robot is on flag ground you can barely tip it back and forth. It seemed to help out a ton in 2001 when we had the metal tracks, and we reduced the curve a little bit in 2002-2003 with the rubber belts. I wish i still had all my Technokat pictures, but my PC locked up right before I left for college and I didnt feel like fixing it.
