tank steering with 4 powered wheels can be tricky

in 2001 our team had 4 wheelchair wheels for our drive.
our center of gravity was around the middle of the bot, and our wheels were sticky...so we ended up jumping and hopping around when our bot turned.

not good. so in 2002, we designed (patrick) some wicked cool omniwheels, that would be powered and help with manueverability. it was awesome we could spin like nothing else, and we were able to push like one crazy mofo.
