If I wanted complex and expensive, I'd be building the chassis out of Lexan or aluminum instead of LEGO. :) The trouble (...) (20 years ago, 9-Dec-05, to lugnet.robotics, FTX)

(...) Ah, sort of the 18-wheeler approach to carrying heavy loads. That's not a bad idea; certainly it solves the axle-support and skid-steering problems.
