Re: pic: Omnitrack Summer Project?
I had an idea smiler to this a few weeks ago for a crab drive tank system. It involved 4 little individual triangular tread drives that could pivot on a dolly type system and then would be able to turn parallel to each other. The individual tread drives would be about 6-7 in long on the bottom and be based off a slightly modified 30-60-90 triangle. I wanted it to be fast along with really powerfull via a shifting gearbox but after calculating the speeds needed for a 1.5 in tread pully it would have been very hard to go fast since it would have reuired a really high rpm higher than the small CIM is i remember.
