Beleive me, I have exampined the Lugnet technic gears site and been to all
the links.  I've also done other searches both on tank creations and on RCX
bases using treads.  I've recently bought 4 packs of tread links to make a
large crawler base for my RCX.  The frame and suspension pieces have bene
put together and now I'm hooking up motors to drive the thing.  I've put
together some of the basic adder / subtractors devices and was trying to fit
one in my base when I realized their might be a better solution.

This seems much more work than a standard a/s. Check out the a/s section on
this page http://www.lugnet.com/technic/gears for more ideas (under
"Transmissions").

(...) Well, an adder/subtractor (a/s) *does* turn both treads evenly, but only with one motor driving. (...) An a/s does this when the drive motor is stopped and *the other* motor turns. (...) Controlled by the speed / direction of "turning" motor. (...) (22 years ago, 16-Aug-02, to lugnet.technic)
