We considered a drive like this, but discarded it because it appears that the two strafe wheels separated on a single axle would provide too much resistance to tank mode turning. Has this been an issue, or do you have some sort of differential working between the two strafe wheels?

Or (I just noticed the pneumatics) perhaps you can lift the strafe wheels completely off the carpet for tank-mode driving?
