Re: HELP?!? with Omnidirectional/Crab Drive
I agree with many of the above posts. A 'swerve drive' is potentially quite usefull, but it is a much better off-season project for your first time out. Our team (33) tried to build one for 2005 and it was abandoned after our first regional due to unforseen complications (including drivers not having nearly enough practice.) If you want some good technical tidbits on the little quirks we found, you should PM our mentor Jim Zondag.
Good luck!
