Treads vs. Wheels

[greencactus3]

oh yeah, we would have used treads if we had the resources and time and well.. people who actually work.
we're a rookie team and since our team is completely students and 1 teacher. we chose to use wheels b/c its simpler. or we thought...

Take a look at some of our earlier ones there very easy to put together and they always run great.... UNLESS you have to much power and rip them

This year for us at team 11...it's all about the wheels. We have an awesome design that includes the patented "rhino" technique (well it's not really patented, but it sounds better when you say it). We are able to, with incredbile ease, hop up the 6 inch step. We also have a very long wheel base. How would you do this you say? Well you'll have to come to Trenton, Chesepeake, or South Carolina to find out....
