you need to think about your task
you need to really think about your objective and how you want to accomplish it rather than get wrapped up with wheels or treads. i've built both....treads are definately harder to build, and not always the answer. i've taken treaded robots against The Chief with two 8" wheels and lost horribly. it's all a matter of weight distribution, time, and desires. i know it's cryptic, but there are die-hard tread people, and there are cavemen(wheels), there is no clear cut winner. by the way, we definately don't have a standard drivetrain either...it should be a FIRST first!
