The kids in last weeks class got some track models started then they quit when
the going got rough. After I finished my model, they realized how much slower
tracks are versus wheels. They chose speedy wheels over tracks.
It's going to be interesting what comes up in FLL when the challenge requires
traversing some kind of terrain. In Mars, the team I mentored chose Roverbot

team for Ocean Odyssey used wheels, but then the Boat deck with the sub wasn't
that difficult to get up on anyway.
