Sweet looking treads though.

Yes, just one tread assembly per side. The treads are just under 24" end to end and we are 38" wide. We have no problems climbing the ramp head on. If we turn sideways, we can bottom out, but we've yet to find a position we can't get out of - at least one of the treads always has contact with the ground. We also have at least 80% of our total weight low on the robot to help with stability on the ramp.
