Re: What makes a perfect swerve drive?
Swerve drives, by nature, are very complex mechanisms. They are a challenge to design, construct and use. Most teams that have successfully implemented swerve drives have done so by developing and designing their mechanisms through the course of multiple season, going through an iterative process, that over time, refines and perfects the design. Teams like 1717 and 16 have outstanding swerve drives because they have used many seasons to perfect the design. As the old saying goes: practice makes perfect.
Also, Swerve drives are more challenging to drive than other standard drive systems. Great swerve drives on the field are almost always a result of having a driver who has had extensive training and developed expertise in using the system.
