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. We intend to build stacks of totes within our robot. Blazing speed and acceleration were seen to be detrimental. Fine control, on the other hand, will be essential. In view of this, the concepts the team had been developing to increase speed were not adopted. Furthermore 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.
