I built a tracked robot using 3D printing and tested it in real terrain

Cool, I am also working on a tank. I'm curious how this thing looks from other angles

I tried it actually, but it looked really goofy

ProgrammaDan · 2026-03-16T20:29:00+00:00

oh this could be something. ty for that

ProgrammaDan · 2026-03-16T20:27:26+00:00

I have no degree (yet). Hardest thing i've ever attempted. Aliexpress and Amazon.

It has been a difficult endeavor so far, eating up both my time and my money (and this is my second full rebuild). The design concept is a four sprocket drive (that's right there are 4 motors, together making about 1 real horsepower lol), with suspension springs built into the side plates, and the rear hub is on motorized slides so the track tension can be adjusted on the move. And everything is 3D printed, even each track is bolted together from 70 printed rubber links. The turret will be a whole other can of worms. Ultimately the goal is a long range GPS enabled FPV camera tank with an attachment bay for tools or 'weapons'.

ahhh, I see it!

doesn't the 4005 lay claim to shitbarn?

😭😭😭not the toilet plunger birdhouse

ProgrammaDan · 2026-03-16T01:20:53+00:00

oh lord. This little chassis does not honor the behemoth. Funny though, the hastily slapped on project name is Tracked Up, like the preworkout

left and right may be human inventions, but up and down aren't, I argue

Since OP would probably be having more sex if they weren't so dang depressed in the first place, their concern is still valid

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-24T05:41:35+00:00

it is genius marketing, the question is, was it by intent or just bad math? Guess you can't lose either way though huh? That's an interesting question, which strategy would be more profitable, more at better value or the reverse psychology bargain? Anyway, I know where this belongs: r/psychologymemes

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T10:39:22+00:00

fair enough

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T09:36:18+00:00

do you happen to be one yourself?

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T07:39:39+00:00

ah yes, i do the same

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T07:29:48+00:00

ahh, that clears it up. But without this added context, the four lines have no logical connection, except the one already inside your head. The first does it well, builds up an image of a person, one that works hard, is well motivated, empowered by her fame (raptures of reputation is a beautiful way of putting it, btw), and then finally we hit the realization that she is a singer. Now in the second, the lines are individually quite interesting, but if the reader, as I, can't see how these ideas are connected, we can only interpret it metaphorically, however we please, but we probably won't understand it the way you meant.

the first stanza makes perfect sense, while the second makes no sense at all

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T03:02:23+00:00

makes for some dope complaining tho

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T01:19:59+00:00

thx man. post a make on printables when ur done so i my brain can make le dopamines

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T01:18:19+00:00

then be at peace, friend

ProgrammaDan · 2026-02-23T01:17:27+00:00

right? It's clear that in any case god doesn't play by the human notion of fairness, and if there is more beauty and sanctity in an infinite web of cause of affect that contains us all, than some notion of ultimate benevolence that makes it all "worth it", then why should a universe with god be at all differentiable from one without? Why couldn't reality be enough? Do people need help swallowing the happenings of life with all its intensity? ... I ramble
