Swerve Drive vs Mecanum Wheel drive?

[efoote868]

I've seen veteran teams (my old team, for instance) use swerve drive trains and sit an entire match out for something stupid related to swerve drive trains (such as the wheels not aligned properly at the start of the match).

If you want a holonomic drive, and you haven't been tuning a swerve drive train for the past 4 years, go with mecanum. A word of wisdom: before you pick a drive train, pick a strategy on how you want to play the game. Then, build that drive train as quickly as you can during the build season and let your drivers practice all the way until the end, build a second if you have to and practice before the competition.

Doesn't matter what you use if you can't drive it.
