It's true, these track drivetrain sets will be produced!
To answer your questions:
We will work with Andy Mark so that our track system mates directly to their
gearboxes or a team can use the kit gearbox.
Total drive train weight is 16-18 lbs. per side depending on the motors used.
Tracks are made by Breco-Flex, we will have them in stock with no lead-time, also in talking with Breco Flex the
tracks can be re-treaded.
When properly designed a tracked robot will spin on it's footprint !
This track system mates directly to the gearboxes eliminating all extra chains
belts etc. to remove from the robot remove 3 bolts and unplug motor wires.
These tracks are steel belted and do not stretch eliminating any need for
adjustment adding reliability to design .
The three uniquely shaped columns add structural rigidity to system.
