Non-FIRST name for Swerve Drive
I'm trying to find information about swerve-style drivetrains from outside the FIRST community, but I'm having some trouble because when I try to search for "swerve drive," "crab drive," and other alternative names or similar systems, I get basically nothing but team websites and CD threads. I was wondering if anyone knows by what name the system is known outside of FIRST. I'm pretty sure it, or at least something very similar, exists outside of FRC, but I can't figure out what it would be called. Thanks in advance!
