Re: FRC drive train

In that particular context, I believe it's referring to the ability of a robot to hold a straight line without swerving all over the place.


Typical characteristics of an FRC drivetrain (no descriptions): speed, traction, number of speeds (and spread of the gear ratios), wheelbase & trackwidth, overall type (of which there are several: tank, swerve/crab, mecanum, omni, H/I drive, and the various subtypes of butterfly drive), and for tank drives the drop of the center wheel.

Non-typical characteristics: shake.
