Claim 21:
22. A wheel drive system comprising:
a shaft rotatable about a rotation axis through a plurality of angular positions;
a gear coupled to the shaft;
a base member coupled to or being an integral portion of the gear, the base member comprising a first curved slot and a second curved slot;
a first pin and a second pin being positioned with respect to the base member such that at least one of the first pin or the second pin is aligned with at least one of the first curved slot or the second curved slot of the base member for any angular position of the base member; and
an actuator to displace at least one of the first pin or the second pin to removably insert at least one of the first pin or the second pin into at least one of the first curved slot or the second curved slot during operation of the wheel drive system;
wherein the first curved slot and the second curved slot are circular arc slots formed on a flat surface of the base member, the first curved slot and the second curved slot being positioned along a circle having a center point that coincides with the rotation axis of the rotatable shaft.
