Description
MiniMoc time! I got inspired after realising that LEGO Technic bike chains work really well a mini treads, this was the outcome.*Treads don't rotate, but the turret will turn 360 degrees. The total amount of colors in this MOC is four, probably the lowest I've ever used. Can anyone guess the fourth color :3
Alright clue! The fourth color is only used in one piece. Also you will surely find it if you try to assemble this thing.

Black, grey, blue... maybe red?
It serves its purpose well. It looks like a cute tank which I could hold and pet, and read stuff at night, then let it out in the morning to blow up the mailbox..
Nice making it on such a small scale.

Black, blue, gray/white, and you say that red is not the fourth colour? Shucks, I was gonna guess those red 2x axles.

Gray, the photo editing process left it looking kinda' white. Actually no 2x length axles were used at all in this thing

Gosh, then if the fourth colour is out of view, tan is all I can think of as a possibility XD I'm assuming that it's some kind of axle , and I only remember seeing red, blue, black, gray, and tan

hmm, I don't think I've ever seen tan or blue axles

Whoops, sorry, I meant axles and pins. Like these: [link] which come in blue and tan.

Oh, I just call those axle pin converters.

Ahaha, that's adorable!
(Obviously I don't know the innards of it, but would it be that difficult to make the treads able to rotate? Stuff like this make excellent desktoys

It would actually be pretty easy to make the treads rotate, you would just have to remove the bumper and use the frictionless axle-pin converters. I made the design trade-off because I thought it looked to bare without the bumper. You actually can see pretty much the entire construction from the pics. That's why I included the shot of the bottom. And of course it is a great desk toy XD

Obviously, the 4th color is the Red of your Blood, as you toiled over those treads, oblivious to the slow destruction of the pads of your fingers and the inevitable collision of plastic to bone.

Wonderfully philosophical XD but nevertheless incorrect
