- Includes tank tread chain links and component parts to build 6-1/2 feet of tank tread or conveyor belts for students in grades 9-12 building TETRIX robotics projects.
- Durable POM chain links snap together for user ease.
- 8mm x 40mm (W x D) chain links can be separated for reuse in other projects.
- Additional parts including wheels, sprockets, axles, and bushings allow the attachment of the completed tank treads to a robot for even weight distribution, traction, and stability.
- Nylon wheels provide rolling support, and 20-tooth nylon sprockets provide the drive system for tank treads.
The Pitsco 36468 TETRIX Tank Tread Kit includes polyoxymethylene
(POM) tank tread chain links and component parts to build 6-1/2
feet of tank tread or conveyor belts for students in grades 9-12
building TETRIX robotics projects. The 36460 TETRIX Tank Tread
Chain Links are made of durable POM. The links snap together for
user ease and can be separated for reuse in other projects. Each
link measures 8mm x 40mm (W x D). (W is width, the horizontal
distance from left to right; D is depth, the horizontal distance
from front to back.) Additional parts including wheels,
sprockets, axles, and bushings allow students to attach completed
tank treads to a robot for even weight distribution, traction,
and stability. The nylon wheels provide rolling support, and the
20-tooth nylon sprockets provide the drive system for tank
treads.
The kit comes with 36462 TETRIX Tank Tread Idler Wheels, 39065
TETRIX 32mm Channels, 36461 TETRIX Tank Tread Sprockets, 39091
TETRIX Bronze Bushings, 39100 TETRIX 1/8-inch Axle Spacers, 39092
TETRIX Axle Set Collars, and 39088 TETRIX 100mm Axles. TETRIX
products reinforce science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) concepts for students in grades 9-12 studying
robotics and building a working robot that demonstrates
engineering, simple machines, force, and Newton's laws of motion.
Tank tread chain links, wheels, axles, and sprockets can be used
in an educational setting to build a robotics project, among
other mechanical robotic applications.
Science education products incorporate applied math and science
principles into classroom and homeschool-based projects. Teachers
in pre-K, elementary, and secondary classrooms use science
education kits and products alongside science, technology,
engineering, and math (STEM) curriculum to demonstrate STEM
concepts and real-world applications through hands-on activities.
Science education projects include a broad range of activities,
such as practical experiments in engineering, aeronautics,
robotics, energy, chemistry, physics, biology, and geology.
Pitsco Education develops K-12 science, technology, engineering,
and math (STEM) curriculum, educational kits, and classroom
tools. The company, founded in 1971, is headquartered in
Pittsburg, KS.
