Without knowing the limitations of your resources, I would vote for a
legged vehicle. You can make if large enough that even if a leg did go in
the hole it wouldn't fall in or get stuck, you could make it with as many
legs as you like (good for varied terrain), it's not that hard to build and
it looks cool. :-)
If you have a huge amount of resources, I would suggest the ultimate
off-road walker: an ODEX. I have a link:
http://incolor.inebraska.com/bill_r/odex_1.htm. If you can't do something
that big, I would try something on the order of a very large hexapod.
Just my two cents. ;-)
