 I don't care if students, engineers, my aging grandmother, or a pack of monkeys builds the robot...as long as at least one student walks away inspired then the goal of FIRST has been reached. - Andy Grady [more] |

Re: Semi-Tank Tread/Half Tank Treads
We are trying to find the best balance between turning and carpet grip(pushing power).

Re: Semi-Tank Tread/Half Tank Treads
Well, the thing about treads is that they only apply force to the carpet where the pulley (wheel the drives the tread) is pushing the tread into the ground. In essence, a tread design with 4 pulleys total would have the same contact with the ground as a 4wd bot (given that wheel size and pulley size are equal). Of course, this topic has already been discussed in threads like http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31438 . Hope that helps.
