Tracked + biped sorta makes sense. It's a good way to keep your robot bipedal while keeping the benefits of being able to just roll around.

If you google that, the results are all of very small robots that can do nothing but climb stairs, and their systems are specifically for climbing stairs.

The team in first right now has a tracked + bipedal system btw...
