Re: Hypothetical Situation - Stairs

I might try 330's approach: oversized rear pneumatic tires (12") with an angled front and 6" wheels to lead up the step.

Tank tracks: Outback Manufacturing has a kit for those, but most teams make their own with varying degrees of success (the Triplets in 2006) and unsuccess (any robot that throws more than one or two in a season). They'll work for stairs, but I wouldn't recommend them for flat floors necessarily.
