actually, i believe that they used a 'tricycle' steering system, where they powered the steerable back wheel. this would allow them to have a turning radius of zero, but not have to worry about side slip like a 4- or 6-wheel drive robot would have to.

I may be wrong about this, as i'm going on what i've seen in the pictures.
