Re: AM' swerve modules
I agree with what Art said about swerve being over the line of what I think teams should be able to buy.
In addition to that I feel that AM carrying a swerve module would lead to almost as many robots with bad or non-functional drivetrains as robots with improved drivetrains. There is a lot more to building a swerve drive than just the design of the module. I think that AM carrying a swerve module would lead many teams to think that swerve is now "easy" and try and implement it without having or devoting the necessary resources to make it effective.
EDIT: Looks like Bob beat me to a very similar message
