I certainly wouldn't discourage 702 from working on a swerve drive, whether or not they design their robot around it. They have the added bonus that they would be only the 2nd team to have a working swerve on the west coast (258 being the first).

Actually, team #360 from Seattle, WA (my former physics teacher's current team) had a double shaft swerve in the 2002 competition. Also, team #998 from Alaska had a double shaft swerve this past season (2003).

At least I told you before more than 8 IPs downloaded the pics/vids. Don't I get any credit for that? By the way, it wasn't me who passed the url to John. There was in intermediary

Here are a couple of pictures from 111's 2002 Inventor Award submission.

I've got drawings for all of 258's drivetrain components if anyone's interested, as well.

I forgot to mention that I'm working on a paper describing the entire design process that led to 258's swerve drive this year. My goal is to use this in the WRRF's Motors/Drivetrain class in November and December.
