YES YES thats what i was thinking of! i asked my dad to explain the mechanics of automatic transmissions and this was one of the things he pointed out. if it wasnt for viscous fluids (which im sure are illegal) it would be cool to see this on a bot. Anyhew back on topic, as i said the problem with using one motor to drive with crab drive is that i imagine the weight of the crab part is going to slow your bot to a crawl. of course i could be wrong and if i am im sure i will soon find out!
