Re: 4WD Turning Difficulties
Have you crunched the numbers on a wide 4wd chassis? I think it would work a lot better because the wheels have a lareger moment on the robot's cg, providing more turning force, and the trailer has a smaller moment, reducing the friction. I haven't done any of the math, though, and it may turn out that skid steer just isn't the way to go.
