Like Xanthra47 wrote, there's still room for the first shrimp that can steer
:-)
On this topic I have some ideas. I would use the four central wheels like
tracks, blocking the inner ones in the turn (or slowing down them) while
keeping the outers at full power. This means some slippage is required but I
think it can work. The problem are the two front and bottom single wheels,
we really have to turn them to make turnings possible. Maybe two turntable
controlled by a single motor that turns them in sync (but opposite
direction)...
I also wonder what happens when SHRIMP tries and turns on a very rough
terrain or while over an obstacle.

| (...) The mechanism to steer these two wheels in sync would be a bit tricky, though, considering that the wheels are suspended independently. An easier and more flexible way is to steer the two wheels separately, but attach a rotation sensor to each (...) (26 years ago, 27-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics)
