Re: pic: Don't do this. It's a bad idea.

Actually, Michael, lemiant didn't have a chance to read squirrel's link yet. I would suggest reading that link, then figuring out the drive system.

Short version: If both can go the same way at the same speed, both go the same way at the same speed. But if one of them can't keep that speed up, then it doesn't have to due to the way the differential is set up.
