Saw an article that was very interesting about the re-invention of the wheel:

I think the futuristic suspension in the video is as interesting as the shape shifting tracks. Definitely inspired by the Transformer cartoons!

I can see applications in the military, agriculture, and construction technology. All of them are very common sense ideas, including the video game navigation system.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
