Re: Questions about crab/swerve drive.
Ok,

1) First of all you can't use 6 CIMS. You are only allowed to use 4. To turn the modules, teams use globes or another type of motor. There are some designs on CD, I have some already drawn up and will post them up when I get back home. **school is not fun**

2)CNC machining or a waterjet makes life easier. You can simply draw up the parts, CAM it and run it. Automated machining just makes life easier. Ask them if you can use or if they can mill parts for you.

3)It is up to you on the joysticks. I prefer using tank drive.
