Cool! me too! (Actually, my wife has been getting on my case lately because
I've been "pilfering" some of the kids' LEGO stuff to experiment, so I'm going
to need to get more of my own.)

One of the cleverest ideas I saw for a steering system was something the person
who built it called a "synchro-drive". It's a 4 wheel drive system, with the
wheels set up to turn together to face in any direction . There are photographs
of a synchro-drive robot platform near the bottom of the page found at
