Go to Post So why are we trying to go to Mars? It's because it's bigger, better, and bolder. Doing what nearly no other team can do, and defying all those who say it can't be done. That reward is a lot more than 9 points. - Mike [more]

Re: pic: Swerve^2 Prototype

From what I can tell, it looks like there is no support on the other side of the globe motor shaft. It may just be the picture you showed, but in that configuration there is a significant side load that (typically) results in the globe motor releasing its magic smoke

If I am incorrect, sorry about that... Just thought I would note that... its an easy fix.

Otherwise it is VERY original! Looks good!
