Stepper motors in swerve drive?
Hi there! So our team is making plans to build a robot for demonstration purposes, and one of the ideas we are playing with is swerve drive. We have never actually built a swerve system before, so I realize it will probably take some time to work out the kinks, but it sounds like fun!
Anyway, one big question I have is: Could a stepper motor (or servo motor, I've heard it both ways) be used to handle the rotation of the wheel modules, instead of an FP/CIM/Window Motor and a potentiometer?
I realize that it couldn't be used in competition (unless the rules on motors change), but since this is a demo bot, that won't be a problem.
