| Details: If you've experimented with LEGO drive systems a bit, you've probably noticed that different setups can handle very differently. A skid-steer tread system is great on sand, snow, and carpet, but isn't very useful for going up inclines of any sort. Tires can help with that, but leave you with a considerably wider turning radius. This robot poses a potential solution - using both, and alternating between the two using a third motor. Probably not ideal in some situations, but it looks like a good idea to try out. |
