First off, if this is in the wrong forum, then i deeply apoligize.

Onto the topic. Here at Wildstang, all Juniors and Seniors were given an option to either do the traditional mini-competition (using Lego Mindstorms) or a special project. Well, I decided to do the special project. So after getting into a group, we made the decision to study and animate 4 different drive systems using 3D Studio MAX. Not only that, but our group wanted to get some real life pictures of the different drive systems as well. If anyone has any pictures/links to pictures of different drive systems, it would really help out alot. Oh yeah. Here are the drive systems we decided to study...

4-wheel crab
2-wheel crab with BUPOD
2-wheel skidplate
Tank

Thank you in advance,
Brian

I think that Brian was looking for as many different types of designs as he could get. There is always more than one way to design something.
