If you have 2 of these, each side is powered independently. If they're front and back, as stated, then it's a wide-oriented 4WD. Turns quite well, actually--maybe better than a 6WD.

There just haven't exactly been all that many wide-oriented robots the last few years--2009 had quite a few, though.
