Re: [FTC]: rubber inserts on tank treads

We used rubber treads on every other chain link. this seems to work fine although the robot vibrates a lot. I would guess every tread would be best but inserting the treads is very annoying.

BTW. We ended up heating the treads under a hot air source (popcorn maker). Once soft, they went in easier.
