Hi All,

I am trying to develop a snake robot, with a combination of 3 servo motors in the centre which have two single moving caterpillar track modules on either side. How would I be able to develop a single track module which includes a motor, sprocket and tracks ? and be able to combine these components into a mono track? would a pulley also be required ?

Similar to the SARCOS Guardian snake robot

Hello @MKD93 and welcome to the RobotSjop community,

I’m not an expert in mechanics and I haven’t seen many mono track robots so I’m afraid I won’t be able to answer you questions but I thought you might be interested in these threads:

And these tutorials

Thank you very much! :blush:
