I was a driver on team 69 for the past 3 years, and although last year was the first attempt we made at replicating the 'swerve' I can say one thing....give your drivers practice!!!! You didn't see the 69 machine crab walk much becasue we were far to topheavy to move safely on the ground, but for even the small amount we did, it took practice for my co driver to get used to it (though with only a day or so, I have to say she rocked!)

If I knew the mechanical specs from the drive, I'd help you out, but on my page www.FIRST-a-holics.com I think there are some closeups from 69's drive train...especially in the BattleCry @ WPI photo album. Good Luck!
