[Tom Bottiglieri]

we have used treads for the past 3 years and have had nothing but luck with them.. they can climb pretty much anything if u design them right or have the proper lead in.. now about cost: my team put together a system last year that cost less than 400 dollars.. considering the amount of extra stability they give u, i would think its deffinitly worth it. i just cant imagine driving a bot that uses wheels and slides all over the place
