Tank Tread Wheel
I was wondering if it would be possible to make a wheel by using a closed loop of tank tread (preferibly double-sided and say 32 teeth) on a pulley (32 teeth)? It would work the same way as a normal wheel. Now heres the question, how well would that work in a crab drive set up with the projected speed being 8.75 fps, using a 4 module configuration and one small cim on each module?
