Re: Disadvantages of swerve/crab

As has been said earlier, driver practice is the main bump in the road (so to speak). If you plan on building a swerve drive, prototype it in the offseason. We didn't, so even though our swerve worked perfectly, we modified it to drive like a tank.

As with everything, practice makes perfect.

I wish you luck if you decide to go for it. It's one of the coolest drive systems out there.
