I'm not sure if I can describe this. If you had a second part to each wheel to 'fill in the gaps' and make the wheels 'rounder' for non-stair use. They would just have physical stops. When driving forward, they'd slide in line with the stair wheels to a mechanical stop - lining up with the stair wheels and getting out of the way - so no interference with stair climbing. Driven backwards they would slide back to another physical stop centered in the 'gaps' between the stair climbers. Shaped in such a way that they'd fill the gaps somewhat and allow smoother driving on flat ground. No complex control. They'd just be the driven portion and move back and forward to the two position purely based on direction of travel/load. Ramble over.

how do you find the power needs? i have a robot designed that just has wheels but thinking of giving it this feature
do you have the code for this project ?
How much would this cost because im thinking about doing this for science fair, Let me know how much please, Thanks
i dont think this is relevant for you anymore, but the project for me costs about 420-450$
