If you read the patent details, they are unloading the suspension weight on two wheels by removing air from the suspension to allow two tires to skid and two tires to drive? There has to be a "trick" since it is dual motor, not quad.
2. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the first suspension includes a first flexible bellow, the second suspension includes a second flexible bellow.
3. The vehicle of claim 2, wherein the controller is to decrease the first suspension load and the second suspension load by: indicating to a first pump to remove air from the first flexible bellow; and indicating to a second pump to remove air from the second flexible bellow.
4. The vehicle of claim 1, wherein the controller is to decrease the first suspension load and the second suspension load in response to determining that (a) a first brake associated with the first wheel is engaged and (b) a second brake associated with the second wheel is engaged.
5. The vehicle of claim 4, further including a graphical user interface to display a button that, when selected, indicates to the controller to: determine whether the first brake associated with the first wheel is engaged; and determine whether the second brake associated with the second wheel is engaged.
6. The vehicle of claim 1, further including a first motor to drive the first axle and a second motor to drive the second axle.
Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to perform a tank turn. An example vehicle includes a first wheel and a second wheel, the first wheel located on an end of a first axle, the second wheel located on an end of the second axle, the end of the first axle opposite to the end of the second axle, a first suspension coupled to the first wheel, a second suspension coupled to the second wheel, and a controller to drive the first axle in a first direction, drive the second axle in the second direction and decrease a first suspension load of the first suspension and a second suspension load of the second suspension.
