What model does the ThunderBorg driver assume in order to drive the MonsterBorg Vehicle

Would I be correct to assume that model as a 4 wheel differential drive?

Some context: In order to connect the MonsterBorg to the ROS ecosystem, I will create a thin wrapper around the ThunderBorg driver. I will then be able to leverage an existing high level controller and in order to select that I need to understand a bit about the technique the ThunderBorg uses to steer/drive the vehicle.

Looking at the code, I see we have Motors A and B (eg COMMAND_SET_A_FWD), which sets of wheels on the vehicle do these correspond to?

The MonsterBorg is controlled as a differential drive.

The A commands should set the power output to the right side wheels, the B commands should set the power output to the left side wheels.
