(Also, the biggest mechanical challenges of swerve come once the module is attached to a full chassis)
Respectfully disagree, we are planing on using gyros to allow absolute direction, so theoretically you could point the joystick to you right, and the robot will go that directions regardless of current orientation.... While this is still just an idea, remember we have a month after the build season to tweak our programming and give drivers practice
