It would be nice to be able to EZ my TurtleBOT. I have three roombas.A 405,4125, and a Create. I have a 530 but it is broken. But, I have plenty to get going. RoboRealm was a little too over my head.

Does anyone have any ideas or drawings on D.I.Y tank tracks for a robot. I know you can buy them commercially but that kind of defeats the creative fun in building your own robot.
