I have recently entered a robot competition and planning on using the tri track chassis for a basis. For prototyping purposes I am planning on developing the robot in cad. So i was wondering if anybody had the dimensions of the lexan pieces for that. i would highly appreciate it and would submit the model online for future use.
Thank you,

Although not the best of dimensional drawings:

3D Tracks, sprockets, motor, hub:

The 3D model would certainly be appreciated.
All drawings were done using basic 2D software.
I would also love some drawings of the Tri-Track chassis.
I’m in the same position - need to build a CAD model that’s using the Tri-Track base.
I’ve got the sprockets and track piece from the 3D models page.
CBenson: Do you have then, the 2D drawings that were used to produce the track sides and the centre?
If you can send them to me or otherwise make them available, I’d be happy to model the whole chassis and submit that as a 3D assembly.

Making the original drawing files openly available is not a decision we have taken up to this point (essentially making Lynmoxtion “open source hardware”). We are certainly aware that having the designs openly available has many advantages (and it seems to be the way the tide is turning), though we are also seeing many other companies freely copying Lynxmotion designs. We will need to think about this.
Fair enough, they’re your designs.
I suppose that I can just stick the flat sheets on the flatbed scanner, and vectorise or trace the images into the CAD package.
(But then I have to wait for the order to arrive)
Thanks for clarifying things.
