EDIT: Looks like a cart? Not sure if it's actually swerve.

it is indeed a true swerve. We plan to be a fast cycle scoring robot and we want to be able to move sideways to get past any potential defensive bots and making alignment better/faster
We'll be showing a video next weekend of it doing it's thing. Currently we can navigate every obstacle without much issue other than the sally port door and drawbridge. Not because we're unable to for any specific reason but just rather that we haven't built them yet(and may not bother) so we never even tried or have anything to specifically deal with them. Of course we had ideas on how to deal with them with minor additions or drive maneuvers but we have some priorities higher up on the list than that defensive category
