I like this -- I wonder if an articulating frame like the Leo Rover [1] would improve the all-terrain capabilities?

Quite possibly. The simplicity of this design is what allowed us to complete it in the time frame we were given. Q-Octo has similar dimensions but drives ~4x faster, has 3x the battery capacity and likely provides more torque to the wheels. Improvements to the design are already in the works!
