Ross-
Looking at Nathan’s crab design, I realized that the center steering mechanism
resembles a differential. Realizing this I came up with a sketch (since that’s

differential and a clutch/ring gear setup, the end result; a single fixed
steering column with a small gearshift that would implement the crab steer. I
will post my sketch of this soon.
