Re: Team 1625 Introduces their 2011 Robot: Mr. Cringerpants

I get how the lobster actuation works (downright ingenious imo) -- the front/rear wheels are the rotation axes for the lateral wheels. Yet what really blows my mind is how the belt running between the two lateral wheels ('lobster wheels' ?) doesn't get eaten when the robot turns in place during normal operation. Is there a differential not shown?

Awesome work!
