<br>
you should have a look at the MORSE [1][2] project.<br>

<div dir="ltr">This is my first year with First Robotics team
3277. The first thing I thought about when I was told we would
like to try the swerve, also known as crab, drive was that
simulation would be nice. I thought immediately of Blender and
found this group has a shared interest. I think that First
Robotics teams would all benefit from being able to create their
code and test in simulation mode with Blender providing the
means.

<div>I don't know how a Java or C++ application written in
Eclipse could communicate with Blender, but it sure would be
nice.</div>

<div>One of the main problems had by many teams is the inability
to program efficiently due to lack of access to a prototype or
the actual robot itself due to designing and fabrication that
takes place leaving a crunch for time on the programming
phase. I was recently shown a video giving examples of the
problem and then some. <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div>We may not end up using the swerve drive due to lack of
parts availability, but that doesn't nullify the need for
prototyping and simulation.</div>
