Swerve vs. Mecanum Programming
I have seen many people talk about the advantages and disadvantages of Swerve vs. Mecanum. I have seen one argument that a swerve is harder to program than a mecanum but I think it is the other way around. I have built at least 2 VIs (I use LabView) for a swerve drive and my dad has built at least 5. I still have yet to figure out how to program a mecanum drive.

So my two questions
1. What is you opinion on Swerve vs. Mecanum Programing difficulty.
2 Am I missing an equation or formula that can be used in programing a mecanum drive that makes it easier?
