yes, cool idea. I have a learning curve to go through, but I'd be interested in pursuing this. Incidentally, it was that palm kit mentioned on slashdot (actually I got there via Wired.com) that I'm waiting on... acroname.com have created a kit under (...)

Treads are a subject of particular interest to me. Most of my constructions are done with 100% pure Lego with the exception of my various sensors of course which often form the raison d'etre for building them in the first place. Treads are a (...) (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.robotics)

(...) Those treads are a Dacta item. You can bulk order them. They are somewhat slippery for use as treads. They are like the chain links with an extra bar molded over the top of each link. I think Dacta calls them conveyer belt links. (25 years ago, 2-Nov-00, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
