I disassembled quite some (lego) models, I also use differential steering. I position the wheels like most models on a square (so width and length of wheel base is equal). Funny thing about a square is that a circle can be drawn from the middle (...) (25 years ago, 13-Sep-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
