"Gene, what kind of track design are you
using?"
Snow blower tracks with
my home-made track sprockets.
The tracks are too short
for being rctankcombat legal, but that is not the intention of this project.
What I'm trying to do here is make a prototype for a machine with similar
capabilities to a soldier on a (REAL)battlefield. The prototype will use a
paitball marker on a gyro-stabilized turret. The chassis will have two modes of
driving: moving around like a tank - akin to a soldier crawling, and
standing up like a segway to bring the marker to eye-level and shoot over
obstacles. I've got the segway balancing and moving part working on a little
wheeled platform of about three pounds, now I need to implement this control on
the actual vehicle. The turret platform swivles above the chassis to stay
horizontal and above the chassis in the two different driving modes -
prone or standing.

Hmm, looks like something I built. A second generation is in the
works :)

Check out the track design - multiple roller
chains.
