Re: Why swerve is better than Holonomic... HELP

All engineering is tradeoffs ... and understanding those tradeoffs and matching the best options to the strategy you choose is where the real engineering comes in.

No drivetrain is the best. Each has it's advantages and disadvantages and these must be weighed against your strategy, your teams capabilities, and your understanding of how the game will play out.

In the end, the best drivetrain/manipulator/kicker/hanger/circular-duck will be the one that most closely assists your chosen strategy.
