Go to Post The game is as much a competition of strategies as it is of robots. There is never any one "best strategy." If teams choose to use this as their strategy, find one that will beat them. - srjjs [more]

Re: pic: Vex Swerve v3

It is 2 omni-wheels, 2 traction wheels.
This means when it isn't swerving, it skid-steers smoothly.

The metal plates on top of the gears are used with a washer as part of a custom thrust bearing that the swerve module rotates on. This results in a high amount of module stability, while minimizing rotational friction.

For more pictures, and some videos:
