DARPA and Carnegie Mellon University's National Robotics Engineering Center has created a new wheel concept called the Reconfigurable Wheel-Track (RWT) that can change between Round Wheels and Triangular Tank tracks .

The Round Wheel to Triangular Track and back again can be made on all terrains within 2 seconds while the vehicle is on the move.

The aim of this Tech is to make US military vehicles safer and tougher along slopes and elevations without adding more armor to them. 

The DARPA (The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency ) ,an agency of the United States Department of Defense responsible for the development of emerging technologies for use by the military attached the Reconfigurable Wheel-Track (RWT) hubs and wheels to a Humvee SUV to show how the new concept works.

DARPA said:
 

"Reconfigurable Wheel-Track's can change from wheel to track and back again within two seconds, while the vehicle is in motion.

"Wheels permit fast travel on hard surfaces, while tracks perform better on soft surfaces.

"The device is perfect for instant improvements to tactical mobility and manoeuvrability on diverse terrains."

The Reconfigurable Wheel-Track concept will surely transform off-road driving on Sport Utility Vehicles like Jeep, if this tech makes it into regular production car.

This is a nice development.... I m impressed!

Good thinking

Niceee

But you still waiting for the pencil production in ur country

We are in here in Africa having problems with BASIC human needs. Africa is just an unfortunate continent........make i no even talk about Nigeria.

That's creative tech

it could climb hills witout falling or slipping

Creativity

Lukz kul.... Bt no try am 4 naija roads o

Very true.....we are still debating on marauding herdsmen in the 21st century. A portion of Nigeria has been a clog in the wheel of the nation's progress since 1960!

I saw this in a Hollywood movie

They are on the move, we are stuck
We are busy with grazing reserve, cattle route and killings.

See advancement why here in africa the things that concerns us are fùcking ashawo ...tramadol.....killing human beings over cows.....harvesting skull for ritual purposes...disgracing ourselves in russia and dancing shaku shaku...useless shithole of a country

where exactly is BSS drone?
what am i even saying where is our dilector?

Only the wise will understand.

Africans are there praying to God rather than think and be productive.

Film Trick

Nice... Laptops available

To what end and purpose? More like a toy for show offs...

And we are busy skydiving into police stations....
LOL.

yet electricity in my area is 4 hrs on 20hrs off.

GOD'S OWN COUNTRY.

A country where things work!

We will get there someday.....

Yes o! Make visa click fess. We wee be dia.

Yes o! Make visa click fess.

Okay, Nigeria will get there someday,
But i say Amen on your behalf o!

Where else should it come from if not there.
They are second in command to God and if there is no God they are Gods.

See motor...

Here some people are still contemplating between Buhari and Atiku...
No common sense.

Wawu! Naija we are 1000 years behind such techs.

Vr superb... It going to create a high level of centre of gravity dat will give d ride a much needed balance especially when it encounter a high hill or sloping area..
