Here's one made of lego:

Re: Custom "Car Style" Drive System

We used a "ball differential" in our breakaway robot this year. We found that it worked good on six inch wheels but on eight inch wheels it was hard to keep it tight. If we were to use this system again we would go to a geared differential. I believe differentials have good potiential in FRC for some aplications.

We now have the differential, drive motor and wheels attached. Here are a few photos and a link to a video of the system.

Is a good video to explaining the differential if you don't understand it.
