Re: Treads Vs. Wheels
I would stick with the wheels, as treads have a habit og getting loose and falling of the robot if they are not perfect. Then there is no way to really drive at all. Also, with the size of the wheels in the kit (12.6in) I'm sure there will be no problem getting up the stairs, seeing as they are only 1.5in tall. Now if you want to get up the 6 inch sides of the platform, you might need something better, although the large wheels might work.
