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

I guess I'll jump in here too...

I think its great that there's a product like this available,
I know my team would buy it..
If we hadent gone and designed our own Crab-Drive....

Sure,It could be easier,lighter,stronger etc..Than what we are building,But theres always a certain "pride" or sense of accomplishement that you get when you see something YOU designed and built function exactly how you want it too......

Which Im sure you would probobly get if you bought a set of these, As you still have to put it together and make it work...which is not the easiest thing to do....


Its just a SMALL part of an entire crab-system when you think about it....

But, Is there really a difference in learning? Does it matter that much if someone buys these? Is any advantage gained now that you have one? I dont think so.......

IMHO, I see no difference between this and buying a AM-shifter or omni-wheel...
