Re: Stepper motors in swerve drive?

Thanks for all the replies, and clarifications on the difference between steppers and servos.

My main purpose for utilizing a servo was to try to reduce the number of parts and/or systems required in the system. But seeing as industrial servos are quite expensive, I think we will be using a window motor/encoder system (if we end up going with swerve drive, the decision has not been made yet.

Thanks for the help and insight everybody!
