I created for a project I was working on (Wall-E Made From Scratch). Being that it was too rigid and wobbly, I was unable to use it (plus I was short on time). However if proper support is given on both sides (an L-shaped piece on both sides) or a bracket / box in between, the tracks should run smoothly.
Suggestion: If you don't like the design, you can take out the L-Shaped piece and the inner frame and use the same type of chain and only the big gears to drive. This would make it look much more like a tank.
p.s. if you like it, please vote for me for the competitions rptech

Signing UpStep 1: Designing
The first thing I did was plan everything.
You can use anything you want to design. I used an open source 3d animation program called blender to generate animations and images of the intended project. To make the blueprints, I rendered 3d meshes as 2d images.
The next thing I did was use a program called gear generator to print life size images of the gears. I then attached the images to wood and cut it out with an electric coping saw. I used such dies to cut out the gears.
