Doesn't the ability to turn the modules negate the need for moving one wheel (or set of wheels) faster than the other, as is necessary with a traditional skid-steer?
if you want to pivot around a specific pint you need to move the wheels close to that piont at a different speed than the wheels farther, however you may be able to get away with basic movements by just direction, but the wheels would skid a lot.
