Re: Swerve Drive Idea

Chexposito is totally correct. I should give proper credit to his team 1730 for giving us a heads-up on this issue, and helping us realize that the the rotary connectors were not really essential. Some wire loop and proper programming can handle the problem. (but its not as cool!)

Re: Swerve Drive Idea

Do you have to place the motor on the modules?
You can take it off, place it somwhere nice and use belts for both - steering and driving.

That is a true coaxial design, which I do not believe is what Aaron was after. You're correct that this would allow infinite turns, but I think it is of a different style than what is being discussed.
