Re: Team 2471 swerve drives

Also, doesn't swerve have a high latency? As of what I know, holonomic drive can have very little latency
I'm confident that this swerve will not have latency problems. The modules can turn at around 120 rpm and still have enough torque to spin the wheel under load. the wheels will never have to turn more than a quarter turn, so the most you could wait to drive is .5 seconds. In practice it turns out to be much less than that. When driving it, the latency is not even noticeable.

There are a few teams that have the resources and ability to pursue swerve or other complex drives. The poster appears to have the capability and commitment to do swerve. The rewards can be big. Putting aside the competition aspect of swerve and think how much knowledge and skill a swerve project can give students.
Thank you, It's cool to here someone that has done this several times has confidence in us. I agree, even if this project never gets used on a final FRC season robot, there will have been a lot of benefit to the team from what we have already done.
