Turn your open-source autonomous robot car into an autonomous TANK!
I decided a while back I wanted to build an OpenBot - https://www.openbot.org/
So originally I'm building this thing and I think "hey, this thing turns like a tank. If I ran some flexible rubber around these wheels it'd be even more like a tank."
Many hours later, I was on around version 8 of some home-cooked tank treads and many more hours later, I actually had something that worked. Even better, almost everything prints without supports.
Building the treads: it should take 34 treads per side (68 total). I had issues with them lifting off the bed as I printed due to it starting out as six small squares that build up. So I have two versions of the tread - one without a brim and one with. The manually-added brim serves to keep actual brim out of the hard-to-clean gaps, while still keeping everything stuck down nicely.
Once you have your treads, run a small drill bit through the pin hole on the "middle" pa
