 They may call us geeks and nerds, but deep down under that prejudice they know they want to be the hard-core, sleep-deprived, hand drill-toting, robot builders we know we are! - vijay24 [more] |

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.
