In RC cars a small toe-in angle between 0-3 degrees is used to increase
straight line stability. How about using the same concept with
differential steering robots, with 2 wheels and a caster?
Has anyone tried it?
Here is link which explains Toe, Camber and Caster angles of wheels.

With a Toe-In angle there will be some scrubbing of the wheel and loss
of power. Question is how much will it help in keeping the robot going
straight with a diff-steering drive system?
