I suppose it depends on where you live, but here in Vermont, a car that spins all four wheels is not exactly the first thing I'm looking for on a winter day.
Yea[h,I'm wondering how,with steering full ahead and four(?) wheels driving,they managed to rotate the vehicle. E motors alternate? I'll admit I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer,but would like that explained. Please.
At the end of the video, there's a link to another one in the top left corner with the title "Off road test drive and Tank turn". It only shows about a second of the tank turn. The only way I can see this working is if they have separate motors for each wheel, so the wheels on one side can turn forward and the other side turn backward. It would be like a tank or zero-turn mower being able to turn around in place.
Not sure how they did it, but the big question for me is "Why?" I mean, it's fun to slide across a snow covered parking lot and do spin outs. Also a learning experience.
