Thanks. We try to implement our trademark swerve drive into every game, even 2010. This is, however, our second year of four wheel swerve, but this year's drive train comes packed with multitudes of new programming and EIGHT drive modes (we use them all). Every single year our drive train keeps getting better and better ever since our first rotating wheel module in the early 2000s and our first true swerve back in 2006 (which you can find documentation on in the 2006 FIRST Behind the Design book under the "Motorola Quality" section).

Thanks, and stay tuned for more videos from our competitions,
