An affordable programming chassis
The entire chassis is 3D-printed or wood, allowing for it to be used in the off-season as a project that is made with spare electronics and motors. It serves as a low-cost programming chassis, or an easy way for teams to begin code development for swerve drive before committing to buying a set of COTS swerve pods.
A capable learning platform
NERDSwerve matches the full capability of a FRC COTS swerve drivetrain: fast & accurate holonomic movement, full-field odometry, and support for vision localization - allowing it to be used as a development & testing tool for competition code.
A robust training tool
NERDSwerve's pods are separated into a motor section and a gearing section, making the gears hot-swappable and very low-cost. Students can experiment with the robot without fearing costly mistakes.
A great outreach robot
NERDSwerve's small size but many capabilities makes it a perfect demonstration robot for young kids.
The next generation of "mobile testboards"
Why have a regular testboard... when you can put it on swerve pods?
NERDSwerve can be your new ultra-mobile holonomic testboard (capable of up to 28 ft/s).
