New Track Option

[TankChain]

Hello everyone,

My name is Joshua Updyke and I am the president and founder of Tank Chain. We make a modular track system for robotics and other tracked vehicles. In the past month we had the a chance to talk with a few members of the FIRST community and we have been told that our product might be a good fit for other people in the community. We are currently making track for a few teams and in February we will have the chance to spend a day with one of these teams.

I was referred to this website by one of those members and they suggested that I make a post to share how we might be able to help other teams. As a company we support FIRST and wanted to offer our help to all the teams.

We offer a track system that is built around #35 roller chain and meshes with all standard roller chain sprockets of that size. We also are partnered with a company that offers sprockets, shafts, shaft collars and several other chain related items. We can offer complete track kits, or just individual components.

We currently manufacture the track in house and can typically ship within two weeks. If we get a large response our lead time would increase. However, we have already established a working relationship with an injection molding manufacturer who would be able to handle large orders. For injection molding the standard time to get the first parts would be 3 weeks, but we might be able expedite that a little.

If you would like to learn a little more about our product you can visit our website.
