Re: The Hardest Drive System To Program:

In my opinion how you want to implement the drive will make the programming difficult. For example a competent programmer can program a swerve that can move the wheels forward and rotate them directly with a joystick but making a program that takes into account the position of the wheels relative to the closest direction to rotate and stops the wheels from moving till they reach the correct angle while taking into account the angle of the robot and the desired direction will make the programming more difficult. i have found the most fun is had trying to make an extremely complex drive train simple to use! Now with just the simple setup (aka. nothing unique) i would agree it would be the swerve because of the availability of prewritten code and for the difficulty in making the drive simple to use.
