Re: Starting out with Swerve Drive.

I'm having a little difficulty following here: are the arguments of "best" saying "best for competition" or "best for learning swerve on a tight budget"?

If we have a pile of CIMs and a Bridgeport (and the sharp students that know how to use it), how much much coin are we talking for swerve on a flyweight chassis (NOT a competition quality chassis)? How much machining time to go with it?
