Re: Best Drive Train

I felt that our Butterfly Drive Module was extremely effective this year. We could go fast with omni's (15fps) and also drop down to traction mode (which we really enjoyed playing with because of the pneumatics) to push robots, mentors, members, and pyramids (although our robot usually lost).

Last year, we were the team with the Innovative Swerve Drive Module. This was one of the lightest and most compact modules out there. Although we never got time to train our drivers with it, we tend to not recommend it to other teams with the issues we experienced with it, although we like to see what other teams innovate on existing swerve drives. Feel free to check out our CD post on our swerve drive, which has had lots of discussion.
