Re: Starting out with Swerve Drive.

I actually just saw your 4143 swerve drive in Curie and spent some time talking with your students. From my notes you had the six wire rotary switch with the motor/gearbox on the pivot. Nice approach to eliminate the bevel/miter gears. I think the only thing missing was any speed encoder feedback.
