Tracked vehicles simulation
Is there anyone who has simulated the tracked vehicles like tanks?
In terms of controlling the vehicles, the caterpillar might not be a serious problem.
However, if I want to focus on its traction control, then it matters.
Currently, what I can think of is making a lot of skinny rectangular pieces along with a lot of hinge joints.
Before trying to do that, I just would like to know if someone did similar things or this is a reasonable idea or there exists another better idea. Thank you.

There has been a discussion about this two years ago here, but I don't know what became of it.

This a fairly old issue, but to point people finding it via Google or other means into the right direction: Here is Gazebo Bitbucket ticket 863 discussing track drive simulation.
