It seems all of my inventions have a right and a left motor used to guide
the direction of a vehicle. I would be interested in having one motor drive
and one motor steer. Has anyone been successful at creating this design?
Sidenote: This seems to be a good solution to the "get the bot to go in
a straight line post."

| How about one motor in the front steering via a rack-and-pinion setup and another in the back providing drive for the vehicle (might be a littel strained on power depending on weight/size of the vehicle)? A front-wheel drive version would be (...) (25 years ago, 12-Apr-99, to lugnet.robotics)
