True or False: A swing turn requires both motors to be actively turning in the same direction.

A swing turn is characterized by having the robot pivot around one side while the opposite side moves in the opposite direction. This turning method requires one motor to move forward while the other motor remains stationary or moves in the opposite direction altogether, which results in the pivoting motion. This is why the statement is false; for a swing turn, it is not necessary for both motors to be actively turning in the same direction.

In scenarios where both motors turn in the same direction, other types of turns occur, such as drive turns, where the robot moves in a circular path. Therefore, understanding the mechanics behind swing turns clarifies why the correct response should indicate that it is false that both motors must be turning in the same direction during this maneuver.
