Re: Hexagonal Chassis + 6 CIM swerve drive
This looks quite interesting, and I like it.

My only concern with the 3 swerve drives on a hexagonal chassis is that this might be a bit unstable and prone to tipping under heavy defense or with a tall robot design. The design looks like it already has plenty of power to drive the robot, so maybe an unpowered omniwheel in each of the corners without a wheel could help with stability without impacting maneuverability.
