Viable Stair Climbing Drive System?

[davidthefat]

So getting warmed up for the kickoff, I did a quick 2d CAD of my drivetrain idea. Keep in mind it is my first time CADing, so it is not to scale what so ever. I don't even know how to use measurements in the CAD program (QCad Linux Community version)

Designing is more fun than actually doing the math. My mentality was an adjustable front wheel base that can go up and down stairs. I assume that it can be used with treads or wheels. The front wheels would be connected by a bar going across and held in place by pneumatics. The tensioner adjusts the tension with pneumatics. Oh and I think it should use 2 motors on the toughbox, I don't think 1 motor has enough kick

edit: Notice the Team Role...




That is with everything on there, but its kinda hard to see each part so I split it up.
