So this preseason we decided we would try our hand once again at attempting a swerve drive! We have twice previously done a swerve and both times had good success so we are stepping it up a notch!
What's better than a swerve you may ask? well a two speed swerve i say!
Going into it this pre season we quickly ran into some issues with initial designs in regards to the wiring, especially if we wanted two speeds! There did not seem to be any sufficient slip rings(price,size,etc...) and we wanted to avoid dealing with entanglement so the only option seemed to be to gear around it. Hence the design you see in the video was born.
It may seem like a lot of parts and weigh a ton, but all things considered it really doesn't appear to be that bad.
Thoughts, ideas?
