I just threw this guy together in about half an hour to see how ridiculous
it looks.  I'd have to entirely rebuild the undercarriage, and put in a
regular motor instead of a micromotor for steering (and then I might be able
to do it 4 wheel style) but I don't know if it's worth the effort.  I just
might, but we'll see.  I can't imagine the aggravation of putting 4 wheel
steering AND propulsion into a 14 wide frame, despite how high the vehicle's
jacked up :)
