    Hello,

    ·· Not without some serious modification, since it relies on the holes in the standard full-size wheels to work properly.· You could use a similar set up to read the holes in the Tank Tread gear-wheels though I suppose.

    I had wondered if it was possible to read the holes in the tank tread gear-wheels. Thanks.

    It would be tricky...But if you're clever·it could be done.

    what if you tried to read the holes in the tread itself? I figure it would work better than the gear-wheels, which are orange and might reflect too much light to get accurate readings.

    You could just find a way to fix a wheel like cut paper ,painted black and with in some order, on the back of the front "wheel"...

    P.S. I can see that Paul Baker is a fan of Rolling Stones... Me too..smile.gif
