Re: Butterfly/ octocanum drives

Thanks for all the replies. I especially enjoyed the Grasshopper drive (I saw that a couple weeks ago) because it seemed very lightweight @ 30lbs. Also, it didn't look like it would take too much effort for even an inexperienced team due to the fact that the amount of lift on the wheels could vary quite a bit.

So it looks like these modules are a little on the heavy side at around 8-12 lbs, maybe 6 or 7 optimized. It looks like these could be pretty useful to us next year in leiu of a heavy swerve. Thank you so much for all the input!
