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

That is very impressive!
You've got a unique swerve design in 6 weeks.

Do you normally build practice robots?
Or put another way:
Did making the swerve drive contribute to the decision not to make a practice robot?

I ask because on Day 4 of the build log at the link it is suggested that the build schedule was to give enough time to practice before bag and tag.

In Leadership, an important schedule was made by Jack, the president, on the due dates of manufacturing. This is an important step in planning out the rest of the season as we hope to have a few days of drive practice before the robot has to get wrapped up and tied.
It looks like from the build log that the drive train was operational by mid-February?
That did not leave much time to practice.
