Re: Swerve Drive

swerve drive is really cool if done right... Most teams try to utilize swerve drive to it's fullest, allowing them to drive in any direction, but I have seen teams go different routes with it before. For example, with this year's game, you could have it default to normal tank drive most of the time, but hit the trigger on the joystick and the wheels can snap around exactly 90 degrees so you can drive sideways to line up the tube.
