What I meant was the usefulness of this. The only thing this (What I guess you would call a drive train) is made for is climbing stairs. This could potentially be used on a bot, but the usefulness of it is what I would question.

Now after saying this, I know the 2011 game is going to consist predominately of stairs, and some team will come up with this design and make it to Einstein.

That would be just my luck, and I would love every second of it!
