Subject: RE: Close.



It seems the front drive would impart a partial upward component to the "landing" and decrease the total energy at impact. kind of like deflecting a bullet at an angle. The front driver is pushing track down continuously so when the tank hits, wouldn't the reaction be to push the track down and back while pushing the tank forward and up? And as you said, the tensioning idler at back could squash some to help absorb the track stress due to impact additionally.
