If you are interested, you can take a look at a mechanism I made
(inspired from the 8205 pull back string powered dragster) which
allows one motor to make a vehicle go forwards or turn on the spot
depending on the direction of the motor output.

The idea is very simple: The motor output is fed directly to one wheel
and through the "direction unifier" to the other.  That way, one wheel
can only turn one way, while the other can turn both ways.  If the
wheels turn the same way, the vehicle goes forward, if they turn
either ways, it turns on the spot.

  Question: One motor & Turning
 
Hi, If I only use one motor to power a robot's drive-train, am I stuck with forward motion only (and no turning ability)? Thanks, Bryan (25 years ago, 19-Jan-00, to lugnet.robotics)
