Re: Swerve Drive vs Mecanum Wheel drive?
Swerve is a huge resource draw that takes years to develop. Even if it is really awesome to design and work with. Mecanum loses far too much power to make up for its benefits. You can always easily come back to the logic that swerves, 6wd, 8wd, butterfly, ect have made it to Einstien, but never a mecanum wheel. In my opinion 95% of teams are better off just buying or manufacturing a west coast drive and practicing the hell out of it. Just my two cents though.
