Actually 120lbs. is this year's limit, next year's might be different so this stab in the dark will probaly fit the weight limit, maybe. So what's the code like?

That would be interesting..Having the power of an ARMY Tank under 120 lbs.......and I thought the shooting was already too entertaining

Florida Regional: Coach stopped coaching in the match just to say "Uh, guys, my head just got poofed."

12 Inch Hole Saw, You think thats big enough, Just strip the plating off of it and lay it on the CNC machine . If we can't lighten up the tank to the 120 lb weight limit you think maybe we can get away with lightening up an APC instead. (APC = Armored Personnel Carrier or something like that)

Believe it or not there has been many teams over the past few years that have used tank treads and it actually worked for them.

In 2001 Team 522 used the tank treads as way to help them to get under and over the limbo bar - which worked quite well attached is a picture.

In 2004 Team 1097 used from what I can remember the same type of tank treads so that they can get on top of the platforms can't seem to find a picture of their robot =( I think it was 1097 anyway all I remember was they were from CA and I believe an all boys school.

And various other teams who have also used a similar drive train. Tank Treads you can't go wrong with as long as they are mounted correctly and being used for the right applications =)
