Re: pic: Side view of third try drive.
I believe the plan is for the ball differential mounted on the center shaft to only allow power transfer when the 2 chains are moving in the same direction (when the robot is moving forward or backwards.) When the chains are moving opposite each other, when it is driving sideways, the ball differential will slip, no power will be transferred to the center wheel, and the chains will be allowed to move independently.
