Here's my take on it:
Treads can provide more traction, but don't always. Treads are a tricky thing to do right. (I've seen many a good throw off a tread in a match) In fact team 68 abandoned them alltogether midseason in 2001. Treaded machines usually move slower because the differential torque required to steer them is very high (it's also pretty big for 4 wheel skid steers). My prediction: Well designed treaded machines will dominate the ramp scene, while higly mobile wheeled machines will dominate the stacks. Oh wait really fast wheeled machines with suction cups might dominate the ramp, assuming they get there first. |
