  Sand crawler with steering

  This is the base platform for the UCS Jawa Sandcrawler (75059 ). I used 4 88003 motors for drive and a 88004 Servo for steering. I plan on adding a motor to the front loading ramp open/close and lighting.

Each tread pod has it's own motor and a servo for the rear steering(see attached photo). What I would like is to mostly be in a "Tank" style steering and drive but when using the steering servo modulating the tank control. Much like a differential. 
  The system could be simple with Left side/Right side and steering (3 connections on the Sbrick) or complicated with each motor with it's own connection for 5 connections and 2 Sbricks. Before the Sbricks arrived I was going to try and use a Mindstorms for control. I  guess the way to think of this is an old halftrack.
  
  Visuals for the app could be a D pad (X and Y)for the tank control and a side to side slider for the steering.  less
