Sharing motor(s) tranmissions in Swerve drive

[Mike Martus]

Thanks for the compliments guys.

Our team used "Swerve" drive systems for several years. Some independant (all 4 wheels) configurations and a - Four Wheel configuration moved by a single motor. All had their good and bad points. The nature of the game in recent years has made swerve drives to be shelved in place of powererful fast systems that can climb.

Due to resources required both mechanical and physical the need for swerve has been very low as it would impact the game very little. I see an opening for FIRST to have a game that will require the felexability of a swerve drive system.

Swerve is many times confused with a steerable chassis (like a car).
