(EDIT) a CV joint, is what i meant, dont know how you would go about making one
I WAS really pushing for this idea. I REALLY wanted "monster truck" style steering, but ultimately it was decided that this would take up too much time and room on our robot to be worth the trouble. We're going with something more simple and instead concentrating on how to best score.
