Re: Treads, Tracks, Tank system Talk/Help
Tank steering is a control method in which the two sides of the drive train can be controlled with independent joysticks. It allows for turning without having to stop moving forward, and is an alternative to just a single stick steering choice.

Tank treads can be used in a tank drive, which is just the drive train.
