That is a tough one to argue with. Traction would be the reason why swerve over mecanum, we are going with 8 wheels probably but I wanted to hear what CD had to say. I am however in favor of swerve being a good strategy this year and pushing the envelope as far as design so I can't say I wouldn't have liked to try swerve.

Look at the success of the Banebot's gearboxes this year. Cheap, light, small, and a lot of people are using them, even though their quality may be a bit questionable... Make a similar gearbox for a drivetrain (with a bit more robustness) and I think you've got a winner. - Ben Piecuch [more]
