Question A Swerve Drive Question
I've been doing research on the swerve drive design for some time now and can't seem to find an absolute answer to this question:

Can a four wheel swerve drive with omni-wheels rotate while translating?

I've read threads saying that swerve drives can only translate, but the SimSwerve whitepaper seems to disprove that. Thanks for your time.
