Re: The Hardest Drive System To Program:

From what I can see, you only need 90 degrees of rotation. Personally, from the context of this competition, having 4 independently rotated wheels are too much weight. The swerve system it self is quite heavy, adding unnecessary weight should be avoided. I really see no advantage with 4 independent wheels compared to the "crab" drive. At least the negatives far outweigh the positives.
