4. Conveyor Belts
Conveyer belts- These manipulators can be used to lift objects or move them horizontally.
They consist of the tank tread kit (P/N: ) or chain from the high strength (P/N: ) or regular sprocket (P/N: ) sets.
They commonly included something to keep the objects from slipping on the belt. This could be physical structures such as the tank tread upgrade kit's (P/N: ) conveyer flaps, zip ties, screws through the tack treads, or metal structures like the angle gusset attached to the tread.
Many times the conveyer belt is integrated into a roller claw.
All conveyer belts require at least one motor to activate
