We are using a 4-wheel swerve drive based off of 221's Revolution swerve. All the parts were sourced by the team and built in-house. They have worked pretty well so far.

We are running a MiniCIM on each side, geared up at a 2:1 ratio. It puts the motors near the peak of their power curve, and we have seen up to 7000 RPM on the output.
