Isn't this basically just an overcomplicated softwheel?

FYI, I was also not the poor, aloof soul who uprated this.

I also thought about that. The design i found actually had springs on the tilting slider thingy but I wasn't sure if i should've added them. this way it looks just like a softwheel
If you want you can select the springs of each leg (48 in total) and delete them, it makes a weird effect

is that basiclly a suspension build into the wheel?

It may seem like that, but no. It's a mechanism that makes the wheel flatten so that it has more traction, and it was used on heavy vehicles as tanks so the wheel couldn't get flat (just like a track: tires can break but tracks are just metal pieces, easily replaceable if something goes wrong)

These things aren't made from rubber in real life, they consist of legs. search in Google Images "pedrail" and you'll see. My approach here has like triple of what a normal pedrail has

I put a set of stairs in front of it and it climbed over them like it was a ramp, this is really impressive

hey, linkage, ive been looking through your scenes, and I see you like engines! Allthough engines are really neat, we are coming to the point where companies like Tesla are showing how they are obselete. (I think I spelled that correctly) So, maybe you could attempt to make an electric motor using magnets and scripts, or maybe even in unison with a petrol motor to make a hybrid?
