I think that it's the suspension design that's the best feature of a tracked robot. if you can figure out a way to power each wheel yet still have each wheel move independently on its own suspension, you would be able to go over the bumps and ramps while avoiding the weak points of the track system, particularly involving turning and being de-tracked
