Re: Swerve Drive Control

- what do you mean by 2 joy sticks?
The way we program our swerve drive and the way i have seen every swerve programmed is an X-box controller with one stick driving the X and Y planes (forward side ways and back) and the other with the chassis orientation. Most of our members have played some video games and by having it in the same set up as the a first person shooter it makes getting use to much faster.

Mechanically i would like to see how you plan on using window motors to steer with out using a coaxle.

One more thing to watch for is the wires getting tangled up if you are not running a coaxle.
