We planned on writting software to speed up the outside rear wheel depending on how much the front wheels turned. So far that does not appear to be necessary. Have you programed anything to compensate for the rear wheels when turning?

EDIT: What kind of turning radius do you get? I am guessing that moving the wheels in a little helps you.
i think that we can turn better to the left but don't know...(its not programed yet) i think they will put something like that in the program like that... but i don't know... don't know the turning radius but i know it is tight...
