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 differential that was orignally in our bot was designed and manufactured by our team. It was designed with the help of one of our new engineers from Harley-Davidson, he had much experience with the design of them, but not the assembly, so as Jnadke said, we had some issues with it and dumped it. It would have worked perfect if we would have had more time, we expect to work more on it in the summer. We went with the alternate drive and employed a software differential at Nationals and had little or no problems with the steering, it worked like a charm and made us pretty manuverable as opposed to tank drive robots, if your going to IRI head on over to our pits and check it out. We proabably will put a steering wheel on the controls to make it more car like, its a ton of fun to drive.
