Hmm this would highly interesting i had have some ideas about this but didn't know if the effort would be to much or if the robot could be anything more than a push bot but, since i haven't done the measurement and only have done coffee napkins of this i wouldn't know what is possible. but i do know you would still have to obey the laws of mecanum with 4 individually power track (mecannum version) systems. now the only component i see that would be troubling is making those tracks but other than that the system would be simple. Also just thinking about it you could lower the inner wheels a little to get the turning a little bit better like the other track systems. If anyone plans to do this let me know. I know i will try again at it but whether or not i use it all depends but as far as i know no one else has done it.
