That's pretty impressive. How tight can you steer? How much does everything in the pic weigh?

Re: pic: Chantilly Academy's 4 Wheel Drive 4 Wheel Steering!!!!
The inside wheels can turn at a 45 degree angle, putting the turn radius at about 11". Almost as good as tank steering.

All-up weight so far, with our tubular arm (not pictured) is 92 lb. Not bad, but I am sure it will creep up to the limit, like last year.

We don't have shock absorbers, but we used Lexan for mounting the wheels. It seems to be much more flexible than we anticipated, so we have decided to call it a design feature - "automatic load balancing suspension"

Awesome drive train. Can't wait to check it out at the DC scrimmage and VCU.

I imagine it will be able to jump into a goal with no problems.

Will you still be using the KoP joysticks or a actual steering wheel?
