Re: Who is using swerve for aerial assist and why

Swerve has a much better tactical feed back with encoders. It can use the full power of each of the cim motors, for a much higher speed/acceleration/better torque. unlike mecanum which are very easy to push in compared to almost all other types of drive trains. they can not strafe side way nearly as cleanly as a swerve can. Swerve can also drive a much more straight line. But will have a massive resource draw, even the best of teams can have a hard time building and programming them.
