In this paper, we performed experiments to investigate how the height of grousers influences a skid steering rover's traveling performance. We measured steering/linear movement energy efficiency of a rover with changing grouser's height. In a linear movement experiment, we find there is significant influence of grouser height to energy efficiency, when traction force is relatively high. Also, in a steering experiment, we find grousers have little influences of energy efficiency compared to the method of steering.
