Two circles and rope? What so hard about it?

Hi Kilinich, thanks for your reply....

This is what I tried:
Created a Solid rectangle and added two circles. Attached one axle to each of the circle along with the rectangle.
Converted axle to motors with 120 rpm
Tried to connect the two wheels with rope but when I do, the rope kinds of hangs loose and it breaks off when i play the simulation.

Here is what it looks like...

Did you make sure that the rectangle does not collide with the rope? Check in the Collision Layers menu. If this doesn't fix your problem, you can upload the scene to Algobox and we'll sort it out.

Hi RicH,

I checked the layers but could not figure it out. Now the rope falls off completely.

Here is a link to the uploaded scene on Algobox:

If you just want a treadmill-like thing, what I do is put a bunch of overlapping circles with central axles, enough that it isn't noticeably bumpy. You will have to drag the circle out of the way so the other circle's axle doesn't try to pivot on the other circle.
