Re: treads: useful or not?

I'm going to back Craig on this since my team is going with treads also.

After looking for a while at many wheel designs the biggest thing I liked about treads over stand wheel layouts like the kit bot was the fact that they needed a lot less ground clearance = lower COG = less tipping chance, plus a multitude of other reasons that Craig already covered.

Outback is also really amazing to work with and really helpful, the treads that come out of there are awesome
