Re: Easy OmniTrack

I'm thinking right now that I'll either make a custom drive shaft using hex stock or do the track as double wide and integrate an aluminum chain in there somehow. I'm leaning towards the hex stock idea. I think I'll will it with the roller imprints on it so its grabs the rollers as it turns. It'll be pretty tricky. Looking at it, If I used two wheels with high traction matierial on it and then put high traction matierial on the link's frame, it would work pretty well. The only problem would be alignment would need to be near perfect. I'll cad one up real quick in a bit.
