Re: Dual wheel per axle set crab-steer concept

For a few years my team (358) has used a crab drive system. It was somewhat crude, but got the job done. We had two seperate drive trains facing 90degrees from one another, one inside the other. the center drive train would be forced down with a pnuematic cylindar thus lifting the other drive train off the ground.

Pros: crab steering, easy programming, good manuevering.
Cons: heavy, and a little less powerful.
