Re: To swerve or not to swerve

We are running it.
No matter what running a swerve drive will always be a hard decision to make just from the resource draw it has. We go really lucky that we have been prototyping it(making modulates and improving on them) for almost a year. We had planed on making it for a off season event but our mill broke down causing us to have all of the peaces to make 6 modules sitting around. After resetting the modules in a new gear box configuration we are set to start machining it, In fact the mill is set to go live tonight. if we were not to have already to have 80% of the stuff to make it we would not even have thought of running it.
