wheels, suspension

Hi



Can anyone point me to any web pages with information about:



a) the construction of powered wheels, used on the mars rovers etc



and



b) a good, clear diagram of the 4-wheel internal body averaging system used on the NOMAD antarctic meteorite rover.



There are lots of diagrams and pictures for the 6-wheel rocker-bogie eg.:

(see the little picture with the orange background on the top right of the page)

I am looking for a similar thing, to help me understand the workings/construction of the 4-wheel system.



The intention, of course, is to try to recreate these great ideas for smaller and (much!) cheaper hobby robots.



Thanks Pete
