Yes I am aware of this fact but the level of dexterity and flexibility required by NARs robot designs needs something far more space efficient. We have yet to find a decent acceptable way of doing a swerve without adding lots of interestingly complex mechanisms to allow us to get the same performance out of a swerve compared to one of our x holo drives or tank drives.

I've been wanting to build a vex swerve for a while and I'm sure it will be done eventually just so far we haven't been happy with our solutions to the problem yet.
