This is basically a round track stuffed on a wheel. I don't know who thought this would be reasonable but it does what a common rubber tire does, with more traction, no flat tires, and 10 times the weight (or more)

Run the simulation, and if it lags a little, select one of those semi-transparent yellow boxes, triple click it, and delete what's selected. that will reduce the amount of legs by half so you'll have less lag, and hopefully it'll make it to the other side of the hill

Isn't this basically just an overcomplicated softwheel?
FYI, I was also not the poor, aloof soul who uprated this.
feisp0lm

I also thought about that. The design i found actually had springs on the tilting slider thingy but I wasn't sure if i should've added them. this way it looks just like a softwheel
If you want you can select the springs of each leg (48 in total) and delete them, it makes a weird effect
is that basiclly a suspension build into the wheel?
It may seem like that, but no. It's a mechanism that makes the wheel flatten so that it has more traction, and it was used on heavy vehicles as tanks so the wheel couldn't get flat (just like a track: tires can break but tracks are just metal pieces, easily replaceable if something goes wrong)

These things aren't made from rubber in real life, they consist of legs. search in Google Images "pedrail" and you'll see. My approach here has like triple of what a normal pedrail has

I put a set of stairs in front of it and it climbed over them like it was a ramp, this is really impressive
hey, linkage, ive been looking through your scenes, and I see you like engines! Allthough engines are really neat, we are coming to the point where companies like Tesla are showing how they are obselete. (I think I spelled that correctly) So, maybe you could attempt to make an electric motor using magnets and scripts, or maybe even in unison with a petrol motor to make a hybrid?
