Very nice document. The spreadsheet is quite similar to one I made for
calculating diagonal cross bracing and gear layouts. Is it great or twisted
demented minds that think alike?

This is a really nice example of using two different techniques to solve the
same problem. That is something I want to drill into these folks. There is
a solution out there for almost any problem they encounter. But they may
not have the right parts, or it doesn't fit into their existing design,
etc... It is really important to be able to step back and view things from
a slightly different angle.

Could I use your Standard Robot RCX Challenge 2 robot picture? It is a very
clean differential steer design. I would also like to include a picture of
the steerbot.
Thanks,
