ground clearance is soley determined by the designer... tracks can be high and low, as well as wheels.. jst think of how you can take the same car and either jack it up a foot or so, or drop it down on the ground.. same principle, just that the robot is designed to do that in the beginning, and you dont have to take a torch to the springs..
