Review

General

Microtrac

  • Cross stagger the wheels
  • Make XYZ corner on top of frame
  • Make microtrac tracks longer so there is a lower number of them
  • Use 1" instead of 3" pivot
  • Make gap between the wheel unit mount 4" wide

Truck + Dozer

  • Close off bed of Truck - needs a gate
  • Make pivot supported by 4 corners of Frame Module
  • Modularize cab
  • Modularize pivot unit - right now it's one with 2 degrees of freedom - make 2 with 1 degree of freedom for modularity.
  • modularize engine unit in truck
  • Need tight clamp-on wheel mounts hubs - with Keyway - truck
