First movements of a new swerve drive are usually not pretty. This one wasn't too bad.

It weighs in at 52lbs right now, with control system, without battery. A proper battery tray and bumper mounts might take it to 55lbs. It is a little heavy, but we used a lot of bearings. I'm not sure this design will ever see competition, but it was fun to make.

The video has a real good view of the steering system.
Looking good!
Why not competition? Too much machining?
