Re: Starting out with Swerve Drive.

we were looking into doing swerve, since we've done mecanum and love the maneuverability. The problem we have is where to start when it comes with machining, finding the parts, how to build custom gearboxes and the sorts. It was never an area touched by my team.

Also I have concerns with swerve taking a toll on the battery draw and a pushing match to cause our battery to die.(somehow we use already use a lot of power in a match.)
