From watching this video and paying close attention to the robots modules and movement, I'd say they were driving around with the wheels fixed. It either that or they are using the crab to mimic car steering. At no point in this video does the bot "strafe" as crabs usually do.

hence its just like any 4wd tank or car style setup most teams can build.

if anyone from 111 cares to elaborate on what system was actually being used during this test, feel free to chime in.

we ran a 4wd robot longways oriented today and we had just as much control over motion as wildstang did in the video fyi.
