We used these treads on our competition robot, as we are a FIRST Tech Challenge team. This year's challenge was fairly much a vertical one, with the robots needing to climb a mountain with 30 and 45 degree angles, and aluminum churros seated across its surface. We knew the treads we used last year wouldn't cut it; so we went on a search for a replacement set with more rubber grip. These absolutely met our need. Being able to configured our length is great; and we have changed the lengths several times in our prototyping. The treads are strong, and the constant reconfiguring hasn't cause any of the links to break (as they did with the previous set). The rubber gripping keeps us from slipping - LOADS better than last year's treads! To top it all off, they are cheaper! These will be our go-to treads for future challenges!
