Unfortunately, none of the pictures show the steering mechanism. I could go to our old robot retirement home and take some current photos if anyone cares. I don't think it was 100% truly an Ackermann design, but it did have fixed powered wheels in the back and two steered powered wheels chained together up front.

Ah, 2000 - the beginning of the Extruded Aluminum Era for Team 48, which ended abruptly when we faced off against Team 60 in Florida in 2002....
