Strategic Uses of Swerve Drive - Page 2

Most of all, I long to give others a chance to experience what I did with FIRST, to give people from my home town that opportunity, because FIRST really is that once in a lifetime opportunity that so many people dont get a chance to be a part of. It shouldnt be that way. - Jacqui Sutton [more]

Re: Strategic Uses of Swerve Drive

This was kinda my thinking with it, that it would be a complicated weight and time commitment for not necessarily much benefit, but I'd never built one so I'd prefer to find out what people who'd done it before think. So thanks! (By the way, keep responding so I can hear more perspectives on it).

My team's been designing a swerve this summer, so these discussions come up a lot, and it'd be nice to have discussion on CD for reference from teams that know what they're doing.
