Re: Tracks or Wheels?

The trick with tracks, especially when it comes to turning is to make sure there is a slight pivot point at about the middle of your track setup. It allows for much smoother turning.

Team 703 has used tracks for several years now and the only problem we ever run into is breaking the track. We've improved upon the system to help prevent this, however this year we're working on a totally revolutionary drive system. I'll probably post some pictures after the build season, as it is currently "Top Secret".
