A mobius strip or loop is a one-sided object, and we can easily demonstrate the principle by getting a strip of paper, putting one twist in it, and joining the ends together.
The original tank I built has tracks like this, because it was suggested in the comments of another video, but it was hard to think of good reasons why it needs to exist.
After I’d built this I realised that where the track twists, there’s a section in the middle where the track is vertical, and this would allow it to bend the other way at this position.
