I haven't tried it but my idea was the make the track in a big round mould with the tread on the outside and teeth on the inside. Possibly using some thread to give some internal support. Standard rollers on the motors and free end. The mould size then adjusts the tension.

I have thought about making tracks through a mould. What problems are you having with them?

Hi Dan They each have positive and negatives. Cluster Twice the cost less armour good for tactics need a second driver Walker Complex mechanism more weight for weapon less speed and control Simplest walking mechanism is a cam, the leg has a slot which gives the movement. http://www.antweight.co.uk/r...

Disc is lighter than the last kwijebo as the leg mechanism has got 16 bearings in it but spins over 50% faster. I actually weighed it.. need to save 2g 8) I like Diabolickle reserving that for later :P I was thinking kwijebooooooom as its got more OM. Working on something that Oliver mentioned at th...

Introducing the replacement to Kwijebo. Basically a scaled up version of Ickle with 3 cells.

Found this 3D printer for sale on RS. They are definatly comming down in price £499

I have signed up.

Sample code is on the 3PI page here http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J37/4

I wrote my own code using the pulsin function rather than the interrupts in the code above, so I could read in a 3rd channel for a weapon servo.

Looking for a supply of good grip material for wheels, does anyone know of a lint/print roller supplier or something better? Something about 2mm thick would be perfect.

Thanks.

Thanks for organising the event Craig and congratulations to Scott on winning. I found a loose gearbox on Anticide but will have some simpler robots for Reading.
