Re: Has anyone made a swerve drive that's run on one motor?

A majority of the competitive swerve drive in the past couple of years have had one steering motor per module. Namely teams like 1717, 368, 16, 2471, and many more use it to give them more versatility in the ways they can position their wheels.
