I would have like the modules to have turned a little bit faster, but they we had to gear them down a little bit from the original design due to drag. If we had chosen to use colsons instead of roughtop, I believe we could have reached a rate with which I (the driver) would have been content with. Although I can't complain to much, as that was still the fastest we had ever geared the turning on of the modules.

As far as the not being able to turn along the long orientation. Do you mean turning like a wide ways bot, or a normal "skinny" bot?
