Re: Coaxial Swerve Derivation with Paired Modules
Some benefits of pairing swerve modules would be:
* Ability to drive (2) swerves with (3) CIMS
* Easier to add gear shift

But, what kind of drive action/control are you seeking: Crab or Snake? Either could be accomplished through pairing, but not both together.

For example of crab & snake, see:
