Re: Crab drive question

Yeah if you want one motor to run your drive train than you are going to have to do some fancy gearing, especially where steering is concerned. Is it a matter of a lack of motors, too much weight, or just to see if its possible. I know you can do it with three motors pretty easily but it wont be very powerful or it wont be fast (or both will be mediocre). On a side note i want to see a drive train that doesn't have a direct motor to wheel system (what i mean is having a system where you have a torque to speed ratio).
