Re: Strategic Uses of Swerve Drive
We've done one in 07 and 08 and at the end of both years ive been kicking myself saying "shoulda gone 6wd". The biggest weakness to swerve (unless your 469) is reorienting the robot itself, while tank bots spin in place fairly easily. (469 uses 8 motors and they're nuts lol)
both of those games being able to quickly reorient was a major need and we failed at that aspect compared to 6wd's
I know we just posted the whole miniswerve thing, but that was mainly a side affect of having a simple bot this whole year and wanting to play around with something nifty and Dillon was bored.
It'll be awhile before we do a swerve in a game again im guessing
Pro's to swerve:
Dbots hate you because they have no clue where your gonna go
You can play amazing D on pretty much anyone including other swerves (way to fun)
