Re: Why swerve is better than Holonomic... HELP
Our team built an omni drive in 2008, and it only worked ok. We built a vex omni drive, programmed it, and it worked great. Vex can be a good tool to prototype something, but the FRC robot did not drive any where as well as the vex robot did. Could more complex programming have helped? Possibility, but in our experience, the omni drive did not work well.

If you loose the match and the robot doesn't come back broken, you didn't drive hard enough.
