Re: Most Impressive/Advanced/Unique/Cool drivetrain you've ever seen

I'm very surprised that no one has mentioned 47's swerve drive from the year 2000. It was, at the time, revolutionary. By todays standards, it may not seem all that cool, but 5 years ago, when it was one of the first strafing robots in FIRST, it was really something else. It gave 47 a clear advantage that year and served as the inspiration to many future swerve drives. It was well before my time coming to FIRST but I'm still inspired.

My thanks for FIRST Mechanism library for the pics
