Re: Swerve with a twist
Rather than using a braking system, it seems simpler to me to have a shifting "swerve" drive, where one gear rotates the module, then shift into the other to drive the wheel. This has the same effect of only using 1 motor, and the robot can not move and rotate its wheels at the same time. It also eliminates the need for a braking system, and gets rid of some nasty math. However, it would be a lot of shifting...
