Hi All, as someone who has made a swerve drive and has spent a lot of time working on swerve for FTC, this module certainly has a lot of unique aspects! However, there's a lot of inefficiencies with the module (coaxial effect, COG, size, weight, Flat tpu, One module swerve drive cannot physically turn, REV Servo does not have the capabilities to perform well in an FTC Swerve drive), that make it largely unusable in competition. It's certainly a unique perspective though! For some examples which are more efficient / viable, here is another video which explains a more compact, efficient, and faster module: ruclips.net/video/qTGq6p0JgFw/видео.html (I don't mean to be harsh but someone spending a lot of time on an unviable swerve can cook someone's season so I don't want anyone to go through that)
