Every team that I have seen with a tracked robot ( except 753 in 2004...) have a very difficult time turning from all the lateral friction. Wheels are easy to set up and easy to design around, which is why we'll be going that way this year.
We always use tracks (except our 1st year). Outback Manufacturing does a great job helping us. Tracks FTW
