Re: Swerve Drive Rotation Control

I was referring to Al's statement about chaining the steering of all the wheels together. Unless you're saying they don't power one half and do a skid-ish turn of some sort, which is something I've never heard of. Could you please elaborate?

EDIT: As I stated in my post after this, I was over-thinking the concept and making it out to be something far more complicated. I am now embarrassed.
