I need some designs for intakes and push bots. I have a tank drive robot but the track keeps coming off and we need some designs for it.

tank treads are pretty obsolete and are not recommended.

But is there any way that they can stop slipping off of the gear?

Make sure it’s tensioned properly, if not, there are multiple videos on tension systems on YouTube

ok thanks, but is their any videos on designs about them though or drivetrains?

[Vex Robotics Chain Tensioner concept] U could use this, but going up instead of down, [image] You could use those two rollers things on top, or create something similar. The idea is to design something that will keep the tank treads in tension or in line with the sprockets

You do not want tank treads you want normal wheel drive because tank treads can’t really turn with tank treads and they are what slower than a normal drivetrain

A) don’t do tank treads, and B) don’t do a push bot

We don’t have enough money to do big robots or even afford collars

But we want to be able to climb over disks so it doesent get stuck

What is the best designs for a push bot that has tank treads and intake?

Take look at this forum post, it has a very good design for a basic drive, and it provides detailed explanations on all the components.
