[Garrett.d.w]

Last year the Pigmice built a swerve drive (but like idiots we didn't prototype it in the offseason). Everything that we did worked, and we had no issues until it came to driving.
Because we hadn't prototyped it in the off season no one had ever driven it extensively. We wound up modifying it in the pits to drive like a tank (two sets of omni wheels in the front pods). This made the robot easy to drive, and because the swerve cababilities were left intact, we had fun watching people's faces when we could simply strafe around them.

Moral of the story, don't build it if you don't know how to use it to it's full potential. Our scoring during regionals would have been nearly identical if we had gone WCD.

Oh, and its cool, but very rarely necessary. If you have the time and the money, try it, but drive it into the ground in the off season before you decide to compete with it.
