Re: pic: All Terrain Swerve 1

I think your real turning problem is going to be draaaaging those high-traction treads around on a smooth surface.

Why not reduce the area of contact between tread and floor?

This was an old idea from 2004 (see thread >here). The treads had only a small area of contact with the floor - but a large area of contact with oncoming obstacles.
