Re: First team with swerve drive?

I don't think there is one, so:

How about a "pod" drivetrain, where each wheel is in a pod and each pod is independent of the others?

BTW, don't just limit it to 4. 16 has done a 3-wheel pod drive for years.

Might not be unlimited rotation, but it sure gets the job done.
