I've been trying to improve my tank tread by making a suspension to tension the track, not had much success though

And my winning solution was a painfull and complicated thing.
I used a whip. Wheels all around that centre thing, then use wooden links of minimum length to make a rope and just swing it round like a giant mace

You can challenge yourself :) For example I challenged myself to make a tank that moves on treads with a self-rearming and self-reloading cannon that can be pointed up or down.

AHG! It won't load! *curls up in fetal position, sucks thumb, and shivers violently*
edit: It was only temporary... (the downtime, not the addiction unfortunately)
So I revisited U-Turn! Cause why drive when you can fly!

re-edit: And unpossible... I like flinging things, plus my locomotive skills are improving!

I dont know if it was this one but I already played a bridge-building game, and they are cool and challenging indeed... a tip for anyone who is gonna play that: TRIANGLES
Triangles are like the solution for everthing :)

Sorry, yours was glitched for me, so I had to figure it out on my own, however what I did prolly isn't so different. I'll take a screenie of what it looks like on my end.
U-turn, if you ever played the game rollcage, this is the easiest level evar.
