I honestly hadn't thought of that, thanks.

Whatever you do, just don't say we didn't warn you .
Haha, consider us warned, we don't have any plans on using swerve drive for competitions in the near future but more to get new members interested and for a challenge for other veteran members and it can't hurt to create a showbot using swerve.

We are planning on having our members learn about and how to drive each drive system and for also the drive team to practice for competitions.
