Go to Post Whether we realize it or not, we've all been touched by the works of Dr. Kamen - through his TED talks, through his research and scores of publications in pediatric oncology, or perhaps more directly through his daughter. What an incredible life, what an incredible legacy. - Taylor [more]

Re: Questions about crab/swerve drive.

The slip ring idea sounds great but aren't the extremely expensive?

Were also looking into building a crab/swerve frame in the offseason here to try and figure out how to build one should we need to for next year.

One of my biggest questions was how do teams that do coaxial crab run the wires down to there encoders in the actually swerve module? without the slip ring idea above i would think they could pretty easily get wound up around themselves and one of the advantages to the coax crab in my mind would be to not have to limit your self to a range of motion.
