Re: Swerve drive

3419 built a swerve this year after many years of offseason iterations. It is not the lightest or most compact one out there, but it was highly effective. Feel free to come by our pit at the championship and we can show you what we did. We are using parts of the 221 revolution swerve but ended up swapping out a lot of parts of it with custom ones, including different wheels then come standard with it.

Also, someone commented that they had the only 2-speed swerve this year, but that's not true - ours is two speed as well. At least it was in our first competition. We found that we never used the high speed, and that was the only thing we used pneumatics for, so we locked it into the slow gear, stripped off all of the pnuematics, and used the weight for other improvements.
