Treads, Tracks, Tank system Talk/Help

[UndergroundVoid]

I started this thread to help myself and other to improve and create ideas about track systems. Though it seems most here are rather happy to bury them in the ground and call it a night. I admit that a track system may not be the best drive system or easiest to build but that doesn't mean that they wouldn't be as effective to a game as any other drive system. It truly depends on how you build you machines and how you operate it.

To step back to the main part of my project folder which i didn't want to do . Here is the true purpose:
To create a universal framework that can be use for the most of the FIRST drive trains and to be suitable to the challenge.

So in my work I'm at the final part of this which is adapting it to a tank type since the wheeled versions are completed. Though since for track systems i only know a few minor things about I figured I might ask around to team who have tried them to get a better idea. I really don't want to talk about my projects since i filled in the gaps to this point and wanted to keep the thread focused on what i didn't know and what could be done for track systems. The funny thing is i didn't expect it to get unfocused and try to push me away from a track system.
