Re: Crab Steering on Regolith

why not try using a massive flywheel and rev it up to a couple thousand rpm, next turn the flywheel with your windsheild wiper motor in the direction you want to go, see how the robot reacts to this inertia, if it does not turn on a dime in zero friction enviornment why would nasa use it on their shuttles and other vehicles?
