Re: Rack and Pinion Style Robot.

It's also called Ackerman(n) steering and you should be able to find some threads using the search function found above. Ackerman limits your maneuverability and adds unnecessary complexity to a robot that would be more maneuverable with a much simpler tank drive.

I'm also going to beat SuperNerd in welcoming you aboard!
