Re: Different Swerve Drives
I'm back with another question/update on our process. During the mechanical design write up of this project, a mentor and I conversed about the decision to chain sides together - and he suggested we attempt full independence. His reasoning is that the long chain runs that would be necessary would be invitations to the chain hitting something then skipping. Another thing he brought up not previously thought about was the investment of space necessary to chain sides together. I also believe we will be doing Co axially driven pods, as the infinite rotations and gearing would be somewhat advantageous.
