Re: Mecanum vs. Swerve Drive

Link to a thread about this very subject. While it's been a few years, feel free to PM me with any questions you have. My team did implement a swerve back in 2011 (My senior year of HS) and I like to think I remember a thing or two from the good ol'e days.

Theoretically, any movement that you can make with a swerve you can make with a mecanum, and vice versa.
