I really enjoyed reading this thread. @Xfaxman Thanks for doing this writeup. Nice work.

 

[Xfaxman]

Thanks. Hard to realize that I put it together 15 years ago.

Looks like a fun project!

 

[Xfaxman]

Thanks, but not as much fun as your "Swamp Thing".

Is there a link to t the swamp thing?

 

[Xfaxman]

Yep: My Senior design project - a "Swamp Thing" tracked vehicle clone

Much more work than my put together.

Here is the description that is with the picture:
