Does anyone know if there is a way to use the adder/subtractor in such a way
that tank/treaded vehicle moves forward at the sum of the two motor speeds
(A+B) and can still rotate (in place) left and right and move backwards.
My understanding of the adder/subtactor is that tank forward direction is
still obtained by using one motor turning both axles at the same speed
(drift problem solved). I need the sum (of both motors) turning both axles
at the same speed while still having all other movement functions (backward,
turn-in-place-left, turn-in-place-right).
I'm looking to use Brian Long's wormgear mod to adder/subtractor at the
bottom of Denis Cousineau page
(http://prelude.psy.umontreal.ca/~cousined/lego/1-Varia/adder/adder.html) to
develop a powerful transmission with some speed to power a treaded vehicle.
I just don't know how to build the transmission around the adder/subtractor
to make this happen.
Any help would be appreciated.

| (...) Clayton, I recently built a tracked vehicle with a motor driving each set of tracks via a worm and wheel. The 'other' end of the drive shaft for each side inputs to a differential. With both tracks going in the same direction the differential (...) (23 years ago, 4-May-01, to lugnet.robotics)
