An apparatus for traversing obstacles having an elongated, round, flexible body that includes a plurality of articulating propulsion members. This plurality of propulsion members cooperate in a worm-like or alternating tripod gait to provide forward propulsion wherever a propulsion member is in contact with any feature of the environment, regardless of how many or which ones of the plurality of propulsion members make contact with such environmental feature.
