Re: PIC: 1902 Exploding Bacon proto type base

If the front wheel is the only driven wheel, and it's 3 wheeled, I'm going to say that front wheel must pivot to turn. That leaves you with either ackerman, or crab steer. Since crab is really unneeded because you have no need to turn more then 180 degrees, I'm going to say ackerman via a linkage of some sort.

Are you concerned that with 3 wheels on the floor and only 1 being driven that you're giving up 66% of your frictional force?
