And, just to clarify what I think a lot of people have been saying (I think you realize it): Don't build a swerve to test if you can do it. Build it to learn the skills you need to build great drivetrains: testing, troubleshooting, consistency, accuracy, robustness. (not exhaustive) Emphasize those lessons over the result of the actual device. They're more important, for FIRST and beyond.

I love it. That's an excellent way of putting it. If you don't mind, I'm going to use that when teaching younger and newer team members. And that is exactly why I wanted to build it in the first place.
