I read this in your [fantastic, best LEGO robot book ever] book as well, but
don't understand it. The snapping action of the links doesn't open in the
direction they would be loaded in use, so how do they come apart? Did you
try them in both directions?
I must admit, I was dissapointed that LEGO pieces could not be attached to
the tread links. That would allow various friction things and conveyor
assemblies.
