You're not wrong, the cost goes up substantially too. Back in the day we typically paid around $300 per track and ordered them at the very start of the build season (or ordered a lot of them and just used spares from past years).
We've since opted to go with a number of small wheels to get almost all of the advantages of tracks but without the need to use custom parts. The reliability is also much higher and the turning of the robot is far better since you don't have to deal with as much scrub.
