Creating Arduino Car with Differential Gears

On this day we decided our Project should have wheels. So we were looking for creative ways to power the wheels without having the motor directly power each wheel. So we came up with the idea of using a differential gear (Fusion data on the page). This not only allows the motor to power 2 Wheels at once but also allows the wheels to turn at different speeds. This makes our future Project perfect for driving curves with maximum stability.

But we still need to edit the Fusion Program and change its size.

Ideas we had but discarded were:

Having a belt turn back and front wheel (Tank like).

Having no wheels, but hooks like our shitty prototype.
