I made this post in another thread; it's relevant here too.

We can drive normal crab, normal crab with traction control (I mean, seriously, the Jaguars have built in current sensors!

We can't use current sense with this year's Jaguars.

only problem is finding a way to power them and have steering(i forget what the parts called that is used on front wheel drive cars?)

(EDIT) a CV joint, is what i meant, dont know how you would go about making one

I WAS really pushing for this idea. I REALLY wanted "monster truck" style steering, but ultimately it was decided that this would take up too much time and room on our robot to be worth the trouble. We're going with something more simple and instead concentrating on how to best score.

Re: Crab Drive Questions

Our team is doing it. We have done about 15 to 20 man hours of milling work and we are about half done. Its time consuming but it will be AWESOME. I can't wait to put it all together. Let alone what it is going to allow us to do.
