Re: Drive Train Choices

What oblarg said about reliability is very true. Unless you are one of those teams who has really mastered swerve (111, 1640, 1717) you won't see any benefits. Swerve is just so hard to do right. You don't get drive practice time until the season is almost over, and unless your swerve modules are 100% perfect in every way possible, you'll have one fail at competition, and you'll drive in circles for a match! For 95% of teams, the kitbot drive setup (or at least a simple 4/6wd) is the way to go.
