Re: pic: 3928 Swerve Module

Team 3928,
All I really have to say on the subject, is this Module rivals all of the gearboxes and transmissions, on the subject of cool engineering. Between mechanical systems such as those from Pink, Cheesy Poofs, Simbotics, ect... this Insanity ranks high on my list of FIRST Cool.

I do find something this, radical, to be something of a physics mystery to me. When Midwest is over, I am sure all of us would be delighted to hear how these modules (is there an offical name for them?) held up to the rigors of competition! What compromises were made? What are the downsides and advantages? What worked with flying colors and what failed in the heat of the moment? Now of course a your Design Synopsis would be a grand feat amongst us all, and again, it is your choice to share what you want. For kids to have accomplished something so... FIRST... it is their glory and their pride to keep.

Hope to meet you at St. Louis!
Petrie
