Re: pic: Team 221 LLC. - Wild Swerve Module

You know, this could be a really effective teaching tool. Simply get a set pre-season and play with it. See if it's worth doing swerve, get some practice, reverse engineer the pods, improve them, etc. Then, when it's time for the season, you can design your own (or order and mod) much more easily and effectively.

Think of this as like training wheels on a bicycle. They help you balance until you're ready to do the real thing.
