Same reason, but we're looking at COTS semi-pneumatics and making our own wheels more than pneumatic. Our goal is to have a drive platform crossing half of the defenses before the tread would be available so we can spend time on manipulators. An hour of web searches renewed our previous understanding that there aren't any other COTS treads out there that looked both tough enough for FRC and affordable.
