Re: Square Wheels?
That would be one bumpy drive. I suppose it might have some sort of advantage on stairs (only guessing here) but not a lot, and especially not made out of something like the slippery plastic shown in the picture. It would take more torque to get moving than with round wheels.
For climbing stairs, I think whegs are a good way to go. Except they require lots of torque, and the performance on flat surfaces is sacrificed.
