From the way it sounds it might just fix the above problem though it would probably defeat the purpose of it.

Locking a differential is accomplished by physically connecting the two, otherwise separate output shafts so they act as one. In situations where an open-differential would result in getting stuck. . .where one wheel is sleep and the other is getting no torque, locking the differential would make the rear axle act as a solid piece, giving torque to the wheel that's not stuck.

Eliminate the scavenger hunt, stop updating the software every two seconds, and make sure your examples and tutorials work. That will help a majority of the people I feel. - sircedric4 [more]
