Re: Different Swerve Drives

After doing swerve for 3 years, I strongly agree with MICHAEL that independent steering modules are the way to go. Swerve has many more failure modes. Having chain runs all over the robot is a night mare to work on at a competition in the pits. Our swerve modules require the removal of 4 bolts and disconnection of 3 pairs of wires to remove a module. We can remove and replace a problem module and get on to the next match. Repair it later. Doing swerve is going to increase the complexity of the robot. Try to minimize the added complexity.
