Re: Drive Train & Control Types '07
We, for the first time ever, used a "Sworm" drive. It is, to the best of our knowledge, the first application of a worm gearbox crossed with a crab drive. It has 180* rotation and our driver has done well with it.

I have noticed this year a few crab drives (1 at St Louis, 2 at GTR). There were a few teams using traditional omni-wheels with a diagonal setup (854) and a good number of teams trying out mecanums.
