Re: 8 MINI-CIM SWERVE

Out of curiosity, would it work if you were to have 4 modules, 2 with 1 cim and 2 with 2 cims (so you have a total of 6 cims), and set it up so that the 2 with 2 cims are diagonal to each other and the one cim modules are also diagonal to each other. That way you would have the power of 6 cims without messing up your movement by having one side of your robot more powerful than the other.

(I have little experience with swerve, so please correct me if this idea is flawed)
