Re: Overclocked's Rover Reveal
Just wanted to chime in and say thanks to Dr. Joe and Overclocked for sharing their work.
I was extremely pleased with the final result and glad to be a participant as a hardware sponsor.
Wild Swerve units were the first commercially available swerve drives ever produced...based on the legendary designs of Raul and FRC111 Wildstang! These hit the market well before the COTS revolution of the last few seasons and have seen competition action on many fine bots.
Co-axial designs seem to be the flavor of the day, but these "steerable transmission" designs still have merit and the Overclocked team has done an excellent job of highlighting what can be done in a relatively short amount of time given some select resources.
I think the round design is definitely cool and I see some serious potential on the field of play.
Keep up the good work. Hopefully you hit the ground running with a complete and working swerve design for the upcoming season.
