Re: Swerve vs. Butterfly Drivetrain
This thread has mostly felt like a referendum against swerve drives, which has been telling. Given my current situation and the feedback here, it definitely seems as though butterfly is a better option for our purposes.
Some have mentioned that both drivetrains are unnecessary/too complicated for FRC and that WCD/Kop drivetrain is the better option. The point was made that a simple tank drive will offer 95% of the performance for a fraction of the cost. While that may be true, why isn't it worth investing build season time to implement a more complex drivetrain that has been perfected in the offseason vs. a WCD or kop drivetrain?
