This video shows the tank operating with a rider. The rider is using a transmitter for operation. This project involved tensioning of the treads, attaching a seat to the drive base, and wiring the whole system. A challenge encountered was friction of the treads prevented turning. To overcome this challenge, Sevy and his team lowered the bottom middle axle.
