Re: Best Drive Train
Swerve has always seemed to me like an unambiguous favorite if you have a good, light design and the resources to pull it off cleanly.
This offseason, 4464 is going to be looking at designing nonadrive/octanum, as that seems reasonably within our machining capabilities (we can do lasercut 1/4'' delrin, which ought to be sufficient for the wheel modules if they're designed properly) and offers a significant, strict increase in performance over slide drive/mecanum.
