Go to Post if you want to repay us for the omni-wheels, use the money to help out a few rookie teams next year. Buy them batteries or help build them bumpers, anything you see fit will be much better than cash back to us. - AllenGregoryIV [more]

As awesome as this is, I would be interested in a breakdown of the pros/cons of choosing something like this versus a well-implemented swerve (a la 1717, 973, etc.). I'm not seeing any benefits, but I have only a cursory understanding of drivetrains at the moment.
