I think what you want is a 4-wheel-steering car; or better yet, a tricycle
- one motor for drive, one motor for steer. If you don't want to paint your
ceiling, stand the RCX up with the IR port to the sky and you're set.
4WS wouldn't be as easy and it wouldn't have as great a turning radius, but
it's a more interesting design, IMHO.
