Abstract
A mobile machine includes a computerized system for determining a synchronized free-floating center of rotation. The synchronized free-floating center of rotation effectively coordinates the rotation of the machine's tracks or wheels in that it constrains the angles of rotation. The synchronized free-floating center of rotation is calculated based on a line-line intersection derived from a combined attack angle and one or more known reference points. Such system may allow rotation and counter-rotation utilizing a uniform hydraulic pressure for hydraulically driven tracks.
