A method and apparatus is disclosed, for construction and operation of an all terrain polymorphic tracked vehicle. This invention extends and improves on the prior art disclosed in USPTO patent pending “A polymorphic tracked vehicle”, filed August 2009, USPTO application Ser. No. 12/540,391. The improvement concerns a mechanism and method of operation by which a track mechanism can be polymorphic, but can also distribute the weight of the vehicle over multiple supporting wheels. In contrast, in most configurations of the mechanism disclosed in application Ser. No. 12/540,391, the weight of the vehicle rests on just two wheels per track (i.e. on four wheels if the vehicles possesses a left track and a right track).
