My team has used tank treads since probaly 2004 - 2006. We really liked them and they worked great. We could turn on a dime, and usually come out on top of a pushing battle. I am pretty sure we had a good way of doing it. But...there is always the problem of treads breaking during a match, worst yet a elimiation round match. We were able to change one tread in a half hour under pressure. Thankfully this year we did away with the tank treads and used 14 wheeler design which I think works betters then our old design of tank treads. Next year we may use the same drivetrain idea but make it lighter and cheaper.
