oh, crab has several advantages over tank for navigation.
I wish that kinematically modeling a skidsteer was easier for navigation.
If my team would use crab, I would already have made a navigation model, and have a route planning algorithm.
Navigation with skid steer is harder, and it seems no teams have done much with it
