If you use a tensioner arrangement, then it works OK. I haven't really played
around with much more than simple weight tensioners (mostly for conveyer
use...the catapilar treads are great for that!), but imagine you could come up
with a rubber band or spring based solution. It still will have some backlash,
but much less than a normal construction.
