crawlers are a given today, but their developpment back during the first world war was hilarious. The need was to be able to drive motorized vehicles off-road, through fields and other areas. The vehicles of that time were not at all suited for this kind of task. So the idea was to bring your own road with you so you don't break the wheels. This gif really shows this and I like it alot.
