Re: 6 wheel swerves

Ok. Now a new question for those who have used swerve:

Wild swerve, Revolution swerve, or custom swerve?

We haven't implemented it yet but we have a design for a custom swerve. I feel like COTS swerve is less impressive than one that a team actually spent time designing, and adding their personal style to the design.

If you know how to design or make it equally as effective than i would recommend making your own. If you try at it you will find some simple solutions in making it lighter and more suited to your design style.

However if you are not confident that you can make one then go with the revolution kit.

Re: 6 wheel swerves

While this is our first year trying swerve, I would suggest staying away from a custom setup if you are new to swerve drives. If you try it make sure you have plenty of time to get it all up and working.

We are trying to create a custom swerve drive and it has taken quite a while to design and build what we have so far (not quite done yet).

Wild swerve is a little cheaper than revolutionary and both take less time than a custom setup to design because they are already designed.
