Sorry I meant some 550 equivalent I am just to used to saying 775s that it was engrained in my brain.

Such a great idea to put a fan on the back of your robot. For swerve, did turning your wheels perpindicular to an incoming robot provide any traction against pushing?
Also, did having two wheels next to each other help increase traction? Or was the increase not noticable?

I don't know about other teams' methodologies, but I was the driver for 1569 and with four wheel drive, 2 CIMs, no traction control, and an incredibly low center of gravity, there wasn't a single robot we couldn't push around.
