No, I meant different steering. The inner wheel turns more
than the outer wheel. I don't control driving speed of the
wheels at all; I just control the force applied by the joint
motor.
In the simulation, there's scalers for front wheels and
rear wheels WRT the power exerted. I think the default is
slightly rear-wheel-drive (100:70) for added punch.
Hmm, come to think of it, I might actually also control
the desired speed -- the desired speed should really be at
infinity when wanting to go forward, and the force applied
should counterweigh the friction/air drag to achieve the
maximum velocity.
Cheers,
