Re: Crab Drive

[quote=Dave Flowerday;662035]Probably the most important piece of advice I can give for any teams considering using crab for the first time is this: you need practice.[quote]

I couldn't agree more. True, this is espeically necessary for crab drivetrains, but it is in some degree true for ALL holonomic drive trains.

Believe me, I know Master Chief wishes he was holonomic but he isn't, so video gamers won't have much of an advantage over anyone else learning how to drive a holonomic vehicle, especially since you can't feel the G forces or even keep your frame of reference locked to the vehicle's like you can in a car.

It takes some getting used to, even for the Legendary players among us.
