And a quick question: I just started listening to these. Has a shown been done on control for each drive? E.g. tank with joysticks vs. steering wheel w/ throttle? Straight drive vs field orientated?

Center drop is center drop, whether or not it's a WCD or a standard drive. What really matters is CoG, wheel configuration, and desired point of rotation. We will go into this more during the cast.

We haven't done a controls cast yet, I'm sure we'll get into some brief controls discussion in the next cast, and if we're not specific enough, I'm sure we can revisit the subject at a later date.
