all 4 modules were turned by 1fp on both of our swerves. This year was geared at 60rpm free speed. We have a control loop running in which i point the joystick whichever direction i want the wheels to point in relation to the robot. so forward=forward and 360deg all around. It involved some nifty programming.

if you steer 148's style then i wouldn't go at 60rpm
