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?

This is a good starting point for a gear system that uses one motor to drive
both wheels, and another that adds and subtracts rotations from the wheels to
produce turning. http://carol.wins.uva.nl/~leo/lego/diff.html
The subject has been covered a lot in earlier messages, so it may be worth
downloading an archive and searching.
