Re: pic: Team2468 Front wheel
The term Ackerman steering may be getting used a bit loosely. Ackerman steering has to do with the relationships of the pivots of the steerig linkage to provide a common turning center for all the wheel. It is a little difficult from just this picture to see if they have true Ackerman steering.
Team 2468
If you notice some tough turning or dramatic slowing occurring while turning look up Ackerman principles and try to apply them to your machine. We built up a trial chassis this way. It was nice, but I think we will go a different direction for our actual robot.
Good LucK! Make sure you drive it on carpet as it may behave very differently than on concrete.
