How high can it reach? Is it able to score on the high goal, or just the lower two?

It looks sharp, good job!

Those are some sweeeet swerve drives. Very fast. And great driving whoever it is!

Re: pic: Black Pearl
 

Based on the picture it looks like a mecanum, not a swerve?

Re: pic: Black Pearl
 

I'm pretty sure swerve drive counts as a reference to mecanum since the type of motion... right?

Well yea, The black pearl is VERY HOTT. You have to see it in person like I have. Ours really catches the eye, and the black pearl is just really slick and smooth,.. sorta reminds me of the batmobile-sorta-slick :)

Nice, I like the holonomic drive.
Your drivers wouldn't happen to be cursed pirates, would they? :yikes:

Re: pic: Black Pearl
 

Typically swerve drive refers to normal wheels that are mounted so they can be rotated (like controlled caster wheels)

Mecanum drives and kiwi drive trains as well as swerve drives are considered omni directional, or holonomic drive trains (holononomic drive typically implies that it is driver centric).
