We aren't looking for a competition-ready system yet, we just want a lightweight system that we can put on our practice bot to get familiar with the programming. Thanks for any help or assistance you can offer.

I too have been searching around the net looking for swerve drive systems, I found this (http://youtu.be/VRcOsjI2gkE)

It looks like a nice setup and is very simple (even the gear switching) I am looking into using this for summer projects/experiments aswell
