Re: "Hopping" With tank style turning.

what are we up to now? Plan D?

Plan D: use different wheels on the front that are not as grippy. They will slide sideways easier. The back wheels will dominate the steering, and the front wheels will slide.

Plan E: make a pneumatic wheelie-castor that raises the front wheels off the ground using a castor and a pneumatic cylinder. When you want to turn easily you push the castor down, turn, then retract it.
