Re: 1st Attempt at Swerve Drive

This design looks awesome!

We experimented with a similar design earlier in the season but did not use it this year. The one thing we looked at carefully with this style of design was the strength of the cross members with the CIM motors requiring so much material to be removed. If you are building a drivetrain with 6 CIM motors then you are designing for defense and you can expect to take some hits so you need to design for that.
