The problem wasn't in the differential itself (that worked flawlessly), but in transferring power to the differential. I noticed they were using 1/4" shafts and set screws...
Ahhh thanks by the way do you know where they got it??? The only differentials I have seen look like they would not work in a robot.

The rear wheels had less traction than the steering (front) wheels (which we were originally going to use), so there were no problems in turning even though both rear weels were operating at the same speed. Unfortunately we were pushed a little easier than we would have hoped.
Ahhhh I thought that may work. Thanks. Were you ever worried that if one of your wheels were up in the air that the robot would not move since all of the power would be going to that wheel?
