You are referring to the ban of differential drive. You are not allowed to have two motors power one wheel in drive mode. You can have one motor turn and one drive on each wheel module.
No, you've misread the rule, it's 4 propulsion motors, which means swerve drives are allowed. Swerve drive typically use 8: 4 for turning and 4 for driving, which means swerve drive is perfectly legal.
thank you! as someone who knows little about all that's involved with robotics but is very curious I really appreciate this.
0:30 currently illegal to do more than 4 motors for drive to my knowledge
