This makes me chuckle a little bit. Last year, we had a 7fps crab system. Driving full forward and doing a 90 degree crab maneuver put a ton of stress on the drive modules. We cracked the hubs on quite a few wheels due to the tremendous side load. I can only imagine what would happen if the wheels of a robot moving 20fps were suddenly turned perpendicular to the direction of travel.
