Lego Contest Entry: Tank with Tri-Star Wheel Confg.

Since this contest emphasizes wheels, I wanted to enter my
favorite wheel configuration - the Tri-Star Wheel Configuration.
It makes an OK amphibious vehicle (given that the chasis is
bouyant) and is great for robots that need to manuever stairs.
(See TRI_STAR.GIF for diagrams)

If I had enough parts it would be best to have four sets of
wheels.  I also left room and an interface for a motor, but I 
don't own a motor (hey, LEGOs are expensive!=))  Since I don't
know what the RPMs are for a Lego 9V motor, I'm sure I'd have
to make adjustments (lots of experience with Capsela and gear
ratios.) 

On a side note, I'm no feminist activist, but I was disappointed
that the Technic Team didn't have a female in it.  I'd like to 
think it was me driving my tank, so for now my tank will remain 
driverless and gunnerless!
