Re: Swerve Drivetrain

So we have done swerve drive for 4 years now on team 118. Every year our swerve drive changes a bit. This year was actually our lightest wheel box yet. It weighed a max of 3 pounds (this is not an exact measurement, but from carrying it this is what it feels like). With the extra weight we made the V6 this year. Otherwise we use to have it so each wheel box gets a CIM motor attached to it. There are many ways to make them it really depends on what you want your robot to look like. If you have any other questions feel free to PM me and I can try to get some pictures or answer any other questions that you have. For us the weight we put into it, it has been extremely helpful in being agile
