Can you add these to Bioloid?

I was thinking of building a rover type robot with my bioloid kit and I was thinking of including these with servos (acting like wheels) http://www.active-robots.com/products/motorsandwheels/tracks.shtml
What do you think? Anyone tried them out?
I was thinking of buying two sets of the 50 mm track and four sets of sprockets (9-link) to fit to each servos (4 in all).
Thanks

If you're very mechanically handy, and you have access to a lathe/mill for machining adapters, you could probably do what you want to do, which is interface an AX-12 to a drive sprocket.
An easier (but more expensive) way to do it would be to buy the TriTrack kit (or any other tracked base):
http://www.active-robots.com/products/platforms/tri-track.shtml
and use an I/O board (like the one I have) to interface the motors that come with the kit to the Bioloid bus. You would also need an h-bridge driver in this case, like the Sabertooth 2x5 (non R/C version).
