If we cant drive the modules w/swerve, we can lock their positions and drive standard tank.

Just remember - mechanical is half the battle. More like a third.

A third is control. Swerve is by no means intuitive to control.

A third is driving practice - swerve is not intuitive to drive no matter how you code it, so your driver needs a lot of time to get used to it for it to really show its advantages.

(Also, the biggest mechanical challenges of swerve come once the module is attached to a full chassis)
