Re: Swerve Drive Rotation Control
Quote:

If 1 and 3 are driven (wheel rotation) together, and 2 and 4 are driven together should we chain 1 and 2 together for steering (module rotation) and 3+4. Or should the same wheels driven together for drive be chained for steering?

If that's your plan be aware that because you essentially have a long wheel base configuration you will have a much harder time steering. If you do that you would have to do either a 1+2 and 3+4 (and then turn the wheels such to act as a wide base when turning) or steered 1+4 and 2+3 (turning such that they are tangent to a circle centered in the center of the robot) or independently. I would suggest that you drive the modules together as 1+2 and 3+4 instead.
