M'Aiken Magic - Treads

Post by Tanner »

Somebody's got treads...

...and they seem to work quite well. No bumps or anything.

That's almost the exact same shape as my chassis. They also "stall" at the top for a second, then come back down hard.

I think we should add about 80 pounds of dead weight on the robot and see how it fares over the bump.

It doesn't look to me like they carpeted the floor. I don't think its remotely possible to make that think turn smoothly on carpet.

To me, looks like an extremely 'light weight' design.
