Kiwi drive

This is in contrast with non-holonomic systems such as traditionally wheeled or tracked vehicles which cannot move sideways without turning first.

[1][2] This drive system is similar to the Killough platform which achieves omni-directional travel using traditional non-omni-directional wheels in a three-wheel configuration.

[3] It was named for the flightless national bird of New Zealand, the Kiwi.

[4] When only the front wheel is powered, the chassis will turn and strafe at once.
