Re: To swerve or not to swerve

A swerve drive gives faster strafing and more traction than Mecanum. Depending on what your priorities are, it could be a very good option. If you don't have experience with building swerve drives, then it's a bit too late to start developing one for this season. The only thing that swerve falls short is with potential pushing power. A 6 CIM-6 wheel drive with a ball shifter in low gear will out push a swerve. If the Pro's of a swerve drive outweigh the difficulty of making one, then a swerve drive, in my opinion, is a very good choice.
