TankChain is an unknown quantity at this point
Re: New Track Option

It would all really depend on the size of the robot. For black track the cost is $40 per foot of track. So if you need 17.5 feet of track then you are right it would cost $700.

We have really done our absolute best to keep the cost down. There are not many track products on the market and we designed this product because we wanted a solution. Another thing to consider is the cost of the hubs to drive track. Every other product like this on the market requires custom hubs. These are expensive and very limited in size. Our design can use all off the shelf #35 sprockets which are much cheaper than custom hubs.

Another thing to consider is the quality of the product. These are not plastic track with pins. Each track is rubber molded around two stainless steel pins and connected with two sections of steel roller chain. It is a very tough product.
