The 90deg/60ms discussion reminds me of a sentence in the last two paragraphs in the swerve inverse kinematics paper1 I posted in March 2011.

Quote:
The 4 wheel speed and wheel angle pairs are now suitable for sending to a control algorithm which will decide how to actuate the steering and drive motors to achieve those speeds and angles for each wheel...

This is a separate and interesting problem, which may involve, for example, logic to reverse the wheel speed instead of steering the wheel 180 degrees (and similarly for other steering/speed commands). This control logic is highly dependent on the limitations of the vehicle design, such as the response of the steering motor...
Does anyone have data showing how wheel speed and driving torque affects steering response?

1 FWIW, I recently wrote an integer-math implementation of swerve reverse kinematics for Anthony Lapp for a project he was working on to run swerve on ATmega2560. He has a video posted here.
