(...) Oh yes! it can steer when going forward. With the current gearing though, it spins out. I should try to drive the adder/subtractor input with an 8-tooth gear rather than the current 24 to slow the turning rate down. Though I suppose I couldn't (...)

(...) Nice! Can it steer while also moving forward, or does the switch work with just a 3-position action (turn right/go straight/turn left)? Could you also use 3 12-tooth gears for the side opposite the 2 24-tooth gears, or did you use the 2 (...) (18 years ago, 6-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

Oh yeah - note the Akermann steering, I was quite happy with that. Can pull a turning circle with a radius (centreline) 12 cm no problem :) -Iain (18 years ago, 5-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, FTX)

(...) Nice idea. I made a similar prototype some time ago, which does not need a battery pack, but which can not have both tracks running in opposite direction. Some images here: (URL) Julien (18 years ago, 2-Feb-07, to lugnet.org.ca.rtltoronto, lugnet.technic)

Well- I finally got around to testing the idea of a R/C tank. I built a little test rig just to see how it would work. The idea is an adder/subtractor drive, with the R/C "drive" output goes to a motor on the base input and the steering output tied (...)
