So for those who want to know the specs:
I used 2 of the Hitec servos from last year's kit bolted to the top of the Wheel Assembly, and one of the edu Motors on the inside of the chassis on the side of the wheel assembly. The fact that the servos are used to pivot the wheels makes it much simpler to map the input angle to the wheels.
It only powers 2 small wheels, which are slightly lower than the 4 casters on the frame so they're touching the ground more.
I can't test it til' we get our new edu RC, since our last one was busted.

Oh, and we've dubbed it the "MiniCrab". I just can't wait to run this baby!
