Re: pic: DS Swerve on the field
I hate being "that guy" but I'm just wondering, what was the point of doing an inverted drivetrain?

This is not supposed to be a slight towards the creativity of this or the fact that you technically built TWO fully functioning swerve drives, but I just don't see the point considering how low your CG is and that chances of flipping perfectly onto the opposite side would be rare to none. Was it purely for the fun and challenge or did you think it would come into play? I'm sure the learning experience for the kids was pretty awesome though!
