With a good enough gear box, turning with treads is a piece of cake. Our bot had tank treads last year and we turned seamlessly. But this year, using the KOP tranny and having tank treads, turning is a pain(both to watch and to listen to). We have another tranny in making but it is unclear as to if it will be finished in time.
