Just to fix a generalization, swerve drives can be very defensive like we were this year. One match we held Wildstang to one tube and in Quarterfinals we held the Beast to one tube in four matches. Mecanums are just a little different.


If anybody wants help with swerve drive stuff contact Gear from 1625 he is my brother and designer of our ever so amazing swerve drive this year.
