Thanks, Karthik. We try to set the standards for omnidirectional drive trains, as well at beat out the tank drives. The main elements that keep our swerve on top are using trigonometry to elemate ALL friction on the wheels (theoretically, of course), strength: 4 CIMs keep our drive on par with tank drives, and speed: 15 feet per second in any direction.
Thanks again for the compliments,
