Re: 2012 drivetrain

1126 was on Swerve drive. The problems that come with being a team in their first year of Swerve aside, the only major problems were had was not directly related to the Swerve. It was mostly that our robot was top heavy and the weight was poorly distributed (When we tried to drive onto the bridge, we would almost flip ourselves because our back wheels didn't have enough weight to keep the bridge down, so it would start coming up on the middle of our drive system).

That aside, the team is generally very happy with how the swerve turned out, and (apparently, I wasn't there) we were even complimented by 16 for having a swerve as good as we did for our first year!
