It steers like a tank. The two rear motors are controlled independently of each other. So forward is both motors rotating at the same rpm. To turn left, the right motor spins at a higher rpm than the left motor, causing it to turn left. The front just swivels. I'll get some video up of it soon. I mowed the yard with it before I took it back apart to do the painting/decals and haven't mowed with it the way it is. It's just so pretty I don't want to use it to mow lol. But as far as being done, it's 100% functional, I just haven't finished a lot of the decals and am still waiting on the ccd camera. (Damn usps)
