Re: Tribot swerve
When a 3 wheel drive robot locks up in a pushing match isn't a large amount of the force on the single back wheel? In which case it could have significantly less pushing power than a 4 wheel swerve driven with the same number of CIMs per wheel. (I realize swerve robots generally don't need to get into pushing matches, just curious as to how it would work)
