Is the track individual parts?

Looks like Emmett's tracks derived from his stretchy bracelets he used on his Moon Rover - in which case, no, its one piece.

Yes this is true.  The one piece "bracelet" track is easy to print and use.  Emmett had developed an easy to use and modify design.

nice bot.. where do you find this double geared motor  ?

I hope I am not repeating myself, so I will say the same thing differently this time just so it want be quite as boring as just a rehash...
The motor gearbox is made by a japaneeze company who's name I either cannot recall or seem able to find on the internet, but something llike Tamika.  It was at a local hobby shop over near the tank models as I recall.
