This is a robot built mostly to explore how you can steer with a combination of differential rear steering and a single servo controlled front wheel. This is a stupid way to steer. Why try it? I expect I'll learn a few things. Maybe you will too. There's more pictures, videos and information on my blog Why Tri? A stupid way to build a robot.

Tries to turn by matching front wheel steering angle to rear wheel PWM differential steering.
