Don't limit yourself to just treads. They are an elegant solution to the problem if you can implement them well. I have seen quite a few teams who have done a bang-up job with treads. Just look through some of the pictures pages for past competitions and you will see what I mean. But that doesn't mean that it is the only solution to the problem. Remember, one problem, 1,000+ teams and 1,000+ different solutions to the same problem.

You can accomplish the same accuracy with wheels it just requires the appropriate implementation of them.

Good luck!
