Yes Rich, that's what I like the glide side to side without wheels rotating 90 degrees move, then back 90 to side step. Really the only reason I was looking into it. Also similar to the balancing ball robots that can move all about.

It would be very cool though:) beyond my scripting prowess at the moment but if you get it to work smooth I will be watching closely;) - Josh S

If only you were an attractive female...

Pretty simple if you break it down. If it's for sliding out of the way of an object you just trigger the movement script (or part of the script if the object detection is scripted not a control). Then you just need to figure out which direction each servo needs to go for the required movement... say FL forwards, FR forwards, RL reverse, RR reverse, pop in the Move() commands and voila, slide to the left, slide to the right, criss cross... wait I got carried away. You get the idea though.

You should see me in a wig... Lol, the beard is distracting tho. Anyways, I can build an awesome machine from RPing , all the motors drivers, onboard computer and other hardware. But bringing it to life with scripts is outta my league. When I look at it, it reminds me of pages of music, it is all Greek to me. So, when I manage to create these machine, I will draw from the help of this club, like Rich and any other script writers. Who knows maybe the penny will drop and will begin to grasp it.

I've built some Lego based Kilough platforms around wheels like this and other similar concepts:
