Re: Driving on Regolith
548 had a pretty unique drive system that year. Swerve powered by 3 servos per wheel (total of 12 servos) with a banbot 550 or a fp powering each wheel. It was my rookie year but I remember us having a lot of tourque, our main job was pinning their best scorer, but not overly fast. The swerve worked well for us and we received a lot of awards for it. The Pod!

Re: Driving on Regolith
From what I saw that year, wide drives worked well. We had pretty good traction and maneuverability with 4 wheel 2 CIM wide drive. Also, I can attest to the benefit of fans, as we played many matches with 121 who was wicked good with their fan. Also, we lost to wildstang and their swerve, so that worked too.

Re: Driving on Regolith
From what I've seen and from what our mentors keep telling me, 2009 was one of the best years for a swerve drive. The wide open field, slippery floor, and a lack of pinning restrictions gave swerve teams a HUGE advantage over the rest of the teams, as maneuvering out of pins was exponentially easier with a multi-directional drivetrain. We ran our usual crab setup (4cims, 1 per module) with traction control and saw awesome results.
