Re: Steering a Swerve

I've found 100 RPM to be a pretty good target for an FRC swerve steering rate...a PG71 with a 2:1 ratio will get you close and provide plenty of steering torque.

The robot in this video is running this setup. It's lighter than a fully loaded FRC setup, but we've used the same setup on heavier machines with favorable results.

Medical hoist with PG71 steering for swerve.
