Re: Crab drive question

Oh, I didn't realize he was trying to make it centrally powered. In that case, yes it is possible but I think you need bevel gears. Also, you will not be able to have differential (tank) steering.

You may want to look at Chief Delphi's 2000 robot http://www.firstrobotics.net/00galle.../047-1_jpg.htm I think it is similar to what you are trying to do.
