Re: 2008 and drivetrains

Today we put together a quick ackerman prototype on the kit frame (one of our mentors welded together some simple spindles for this purpose). Even without the desired dimensions (long wheelbase, wide apart front wheels) and the geometry being off slightly, it has a pretty tight turning radius. We didn't get a chance to drive it, so we won't know about actual performance until tomorrow.
