Re: Why is swerve so slow?
16fps is not a low speed. The (few) fastest FRC robots are geared for a little more than 20fps and the kitbot is geared for about 10fps. Normal low gears for FRC robots are about 4-7fps.
Most drivetrains, including swerve drives, have a < ~20fps top speed because a drivetrain geared too high will accelerate slowly, turn badly and possibly trip breakers.
