Re: Team 2338 swerve drive peer review
Our crab drive that we built and used at comps this year had a problem with the 1/8 in. plates because at comps our pit crew had problems with the 1/8 in. plates bending during a match. Once realized, we quickly doubled up on them. The moral of this story is, keep in mind the stresses the robot is going to endure during a match. We (team 93's design team) didn't take into account those stresses and so we ended up replacing drive modules a lot.
It's just something to think about.
