Re: Crab Steering on Regolith

So this hasn't really been debated yet but would a crab drive even be particularly effective on this surface?

It seems to me that the lack of friction would make it so that turning the wheels would not really result in a change of direction quickly. It could actually be worse since the wheels would be skidding and thus kinetic friction would apply.
