<R06> Seems to create a problem with any type of steered wheel this year: if the axis of rotation of the wheel has to be parallel to the ground, then you can't rotate the wheel about a vertical diameter, as you typically would while steering. However, according to the rule you could rotate the wheel about a horizontal diameter and make use of the higher transverse coefficient of friction do propel the bot. I hope we see some clarification of <R06>.
