Some big names associated with some big drive systems are coming onto the next show; notably, people partially behind the original Swerve, 6-Wheel Swerve and Emperor Swerve. As a general question not specific to those 3 systems, I'd like to know some of the process that went into designing a new drive system.
I don't want to make the question much more specific than that, as I don't want to limit the scope of the discussion, but here are a few things I'd specifically like to hear about
:
- What pushed you to want to make a new drive system?
- What went into the design process?
- Did you treat it like any other system a team would never have done before (prototype in pre-season, iterate until acceptable for the season)?
- This one is actually more for Dr.Joe, just out of personal curiosity: How does it make you feel that a system you had a major hand in has evolved into one that has been not only been used succesfully by some big name teams, but iterated into so many different variations?
Can't wait for this cast! If only if was a day before (11-26
)
