One of my management professors taught me this: At all times you are holding a bucket in each hand, one full of water, and one full of gasoline. Management is knowing when to throw which bucket. - Barry Bonzack [more]

EDIT: How do you plan on controlling this. Are you going to use the "tank crab" where you will have two joysticks or one joystick with some really sick programming? The picture is kind of misleading me. If you decide to link one side of your robot to the other via chain than you will save weight if you don't want to do akerman steering. Anyways let me rephrase my question, what exactly will your crab, when it is all said and done, be able to do?
