why are your front tires moving side to side like that?

@ryanpitre machine is on auto steer with a sensor next to the cut edge. sensor is a bit sensitive the the front tires move back and forth to keep the machine exactly on the cut edge

Cool, but it just seems like there would be a lot of things to break down on that machine.
