Still, "terrain" is a general term. Does your teacher mean "terrain" as in an uneven playing surface with little bumps and valleys everywhere, but the bumps and valleys are only +/- half an inch from "ground level?" Or does "terrain" mean having a 4 inch tall "wall" in the middle of the field that you have to traverse?
Each scenario would require different designs. For example, the uneven surface could be solved with larger wheels or pneumatic tires. The 4 inch wall on the other hand could be solved with even larger wheels (perhaps to the point of impracticality), or some kind of articulating chassis.
