Chapter 2: Software and Machining
IN THIS LESSON
Overview
A swerve drive allows each wheel of a robot to rotate independently, enabling advanced movement like strafing and precise control.
Each module has drive + steering motors
Requires complex programming and control algorithms
Allows omnidirectional movement
Needs precise calibration and alignment
Maintenance includes checking gears, belts, and encoders
Heavier and more complex than simpler drivetrains
