Re: pic: Revolution Swerve Demo Robot

I like the update eliminating the inability of the coaxial swerve to rotate.
Do you have multi-speed transmissions now too? It's hard to tell whats going on inside that frame member where the transmission is buried.
One more question which side is front? I'm trying to tell which way you tied the wheels together, left/right or front/rear.

Maybe thats the point...
The fact that its square allows kind of allows for it to not have a "front" per say.


Very nice swerve! I looked at the module down in Atlanta and it looked great then. A very nice adaptation of 118's classic style. Very impressed with the look of this one. Good job!

The last (IRI) iteration could rotate too; it could skid in place or use "monster truck steering" (there's got to be a more technical term for that) to turn.

I really like the integrated transmissions; very smart.

I think 4-wheel steering is what many people know it as.

I guess dual Ackermann is another term you may be able to use.
