Has anyone tried having 2 motors, one controlling each axle, like a tank, as opposed to a diferential? Even if you don't fit some sort of power limiter to the inner wheel (eg a resistor which cuts in when the steering hits a microswitch) I'd have thought that the motors would compensate for the turn as the inner one would have a greater load.
