We made the decision to stay with swerve drive for the 2015 robot. But Recycle Rush as a very different game than Aerial Assist, leading to different drive train requirements. In view of the fact that blazing speed and acceleration seems to be detriments in this year's game, concepts to increase speed were not adopted and Mini-CIMs were used in lieu of CIMs to drive the robot.

With the loss of Ben Kellom as mentor and Edgetech as sponsor, we redesigned our swerve module to reduce the machine time requirements and to bring as much of the machining in-house as practical.
