if the goal is to climb stairs, i remember seeing some designs that manage
to function like larger wheels than they are. i can't find the links, maybe
someone remembers where.
was it lobster bot or something like that ? it used canterlever arms or
bogeys, to allow smaller wheels to rotate around a larger radius than their
own. maybe it was a version of the mars rover.
but three long arms set at 120 degrees from each other, with small powered
wheels at the ends become larger radius 'wheels'. i' sure i'm confusing
two robot designs. there's a way to power both the small wheels and the
arms, so they lift the robot up and over.
but also, tracks can be configured to catch the lip of the next step and
pull the robot up.
but, none of this helps if you have to use large wheels. but something to
consider if you have the flexibility in design.

What is the biggest lego technic wheel currently available? I have some
students
building a stair climber and they want to use BIG wheels in their design.
