Thanks to everyone that responded. I do indeed have a differential setup on
the rear wheels and a second differential to incorporate the power of two
motors.
The steering problem is that I don't know how to reset the steering
wheels on the front of the vehicle to straight. I thought about using some
rubber bands. In addition I thought a touch sensor to indicate straight
would work as well. I would be interested in any other suggestions or seeing
other pictures. Thanks!
