Yes, this is the feature that really worked out well.  By changing one gear
(and adding appropriate number of 1/3 thickness shim plates under the motor),
one can get the following final drive gear ratios: 1/9, 2/9, 1/3, with no
additional modifications to the chassis. The 1/9 ratio will tow a file cabinet;
the 1/3 ratio is downright speedy (for a tracked vehicle)..

That sounds very interesting. I hope to see some diagrams or photos soon... Your approach solves the biggest problem introduced by the A-S drive, that of insufficient torque when driving tracks. Two motors is the way to go for tracks. -- SeeYa ! (...) (28 years ago, 6-Feb-99, to lugnet.robotics)
