I actually agree, in most cases. For most games I would prefer the 5.4 lb, single speed, single motor module I posted earlier. If the situaltion comes again where mobility is almost everything, this would be awesome.

All in all though, this lightweight packaging is a pretty sweet deal. I've really liked the iterations I've seen in the last few days. Too bad we won't see this module at Bunnybot

Thank you! I wish we could field this at bunnybot as well...
Unfortunately, the money and resources to do that just aren't there this year.

Good point. I think their robot only used four small motors outside of their drive base. That's few enough that they could have used this drive.

Also, 1 2/3 cims per module is just a tiny bit more powerful than a 6-cim drive. If you want acceleration in a swerve drive, you can either have a multiple of 3 modules or you can go cim/minicim. I prefer the latter for a multitude of reasons. Think of it: not only can you snake and translate, but you can do it at 20fps and save momentum. The possiblities are amazing.
