A method of operating a mobile remotely controlled ground robot in difficult terrain. Rear driven tracked arms of the robot are pivoted rearward and upward to trail main driven tracks of the robot at a fixed angle relative to and above the ground. The main tracks of the robot are driven forward to traverse the ground. An obstacle is traversed by driving the main tracks to traverse the obstacle pivoting the forward end of the robot upwards and at least one of the rear driven tracks are driven and engaging the ground and/or obstacle to advance the robot forward over the obstacle and to prevent the robot from tipping over backwards.
