My apologies. Upon closer inspection, it does appear that the 111 2008 bot is a Crab drive design. In the video however, you can see the bot turning like a tank drive bot. Are they steering the front and rear wheels independently, or are they just leaving the wheels centered and using it as a tank drive?
