I've been toying with this -- mostly on paper -- as well, in attempt to
convert my 8448 to four-wheel dual-mode steering. Unfortunately, as far
as I can tell, the only way to do it its to only switch modes when the
wheels are all straight. I can, of course, see an easy algorithm for
handling automatically switching to crab mode and back, but I can't see
any way to implement it mechanically (at least, without motors and
(perhaps) an RCX).
But then I'm kinda new at this.
