Re: pic: Multipurpose Test Platform

We are also interested in having a pre-built test platform with several different drive styles. We didn't really consider a design with swerve, though we were interested in most of the others. We opted to go the opposite route, to build a bunch of different platforms that were all the same size with the same mount points, which would allow us to prototype a manipulator set and drop it onto any of our drive platforms. Later, we decided that it would be even easier to just have some chassis kits on the shelf and build them to our needs.
