Re: Mecanum vs. Swerve Drive

If for a moment you do not focus on the competition value of complex drive trains, but look at the FIRST mission to inspire students, go for it. Our students learn so much about design and fabrication from the swerve project. It is a complex project and requires a team to develop a design build process. This same process can also serve a team well in all other design build missions. The knowledge gained from going for a swerve project can be huge. Our team recently discussed manufacturing and selling some of the critical parts of our swerve module. Teams would have to make and purchase the rest. There would have to be some interest to make a run. Interest.
