Re: Crazy Crab
I was thinking of starting a new thread but I'll just ask this here:

Can people/teams with actual crab/swerve experience post some info on:

what the pros & cons of controlling the 'cans':
individually vs left/right vs front/back vs all together

and/or

what the pros & cons of powering the wheels:
individually vs left/right vs front/back vs all together

Our team is also interested in prototyping this type of drive over the summer, we know the basics but not the advanced control part

(and yes I spent 4 hours going through the pictures/threads that are on CD)
