Re: Swerve Drive vs Mecanum Wheel drive?

On the other side swerve drives can play some really mean defense too. The ability to lock your wheels in to a X or O. This way you cant get pushed but maintain a very high gear ratio. We played some mean defense by just out maneuvering robots and out running them then locking the wheels and that's a nice 1/2-1 foot a second across the field no matter how much pushing power you got.
