Both of these options will allow for crab and car style steering, but the former in the long configuration and the latter in the wide configuration. Also, if the wide configuration is used, then skid steer can be used as a backup.

Austin and his team have made a pretty solid crab drive, and then programmed it using much superior controls than most teams use on theirs. I trust him
