I was going to use two mechanically-linked motors for the forward/back
motion and a third motor for the turning motion in combonation with the
adder subtractor. Fitting the second forward / reverse motor in was going
to be a problem until I realized I had this other motor (turning motor) was
doing nothing and may be able to be used for more power.
The purpose of using a second drive motor is to give the tank base a bit
more power.

What a neat little device (directional unifier), I'll have to find time to
play with it.
