Re: Swerve Drive with Servos

We already have a drive setup for our competition robot. We are just considering what we need to make this happen next year. We already have a wooden chassis setup for the swerve though and we were going to experiment and see if we can make it work when we get time.

Re: Swerve Drive with Servos

As part of a team that created a FTC-legal swerve, I would heavily advise against it. The limits on servos reduce the power you have available, and even in FTC, we didn't have enough power to turn our modules.
