If I understand correctly, you'd just want the front two to be turning? Why not just make something like ackerman ("car steering") then?

well that way there powered also, and we could just use two of what we have with some minor modification.....
and so far we've only spent two days on it, out of the week ....if you'all think its such a bad decision..its not that hard to just switch to something else...
as for time...its amazing what can be done in 4 hours when everybody is highly motavated and energized........
i remember last year, on the day before shipping, at 8:30 at night, we completely changed our drivebase from 4wd to 2wd with a castor and a unpowered wheel....
ps. this is what prototyping is for....
