Re: Turning; easier one way or the other?

You aren't wrong, but I believe FizMan was talking about a "crab drive". In that case, I'm not sure why you care much about tank steering because you can just turn your wheels to turn like a real car, or even cooler, move by translation by having all the wheels have the same orientation relative to the robot and changing that orientation.
