Description: A few weeks ago I built a robot with ball-shaped omni-directional wheels. I've been looking another 'weird wheels' idea to build. I came across Fordson Rotaped tracks in various YouTube videos which seemed interesting. To add an extra challenge to it though I decided to make my robot balance on the two track sprockets rather than use leading or trailing wheels.

My channel is where I share some of my useful and not-so-useful inventions, designs and maker advice. Iron Man is my go-to cosplay, and 3D printing can solve most issues - broken bolts, missing parts, world hunger, you name it. XRobots is the community around my content where you can get in touch, share tips and advice, and more build FAQs, schematics and designs are also available.
