The way I presented it our team was along these lines:
- which way must each of the four wheels spin in order to go forward?
- which way must each of the wheels spin in order to spin clockwise?
- which way must each of the wheels spin in order to slide right?
Then, once they figured that out, the "aha" moment was understanding that these actions could be superimposed using simple addition to get an algorithm which would allow the robot to execute all three maneuvers at the same time, in any proportion desired.
