Looks good! Do you have CAD posted or a close-up render of one modules so we can get a better look?

Yeah. https://grabcad.com/library/3641-2016-offseason-swerve-work-in-progress-1

It's pretty outdated so I'll try and update the model by tonight. The general design hasn't changed much tho.

Is that swerve using 8 CIMs?

Im pretty sure those are 8 BAG motors based off their grabCad. Im not so sure that the BAG motors will work great for the drive motors.

4 BAG motors for drive, and 4 BAGs for turning.

Yup. This is basically just a light duty test bench so BAGs should do just fine. (The whole thing weights less than 35lbs with the battery)

You're showing the old D-Link radio/AP/4-port Switch on the robot. This item was replaced as of this year with the 2-Port OM5P.

Yeah I know. Were on a budget so we decided to use the old radio since we already have a brand new one lying around.

Also, due to changes in fcc regulations, the frequency that the d-link uses is technically illegal!:ahh:

Also, there's a blue PDB on your electronics board! Do you plan on making your own terminating resistor for the CAN chain (as I see you have Talon SRX's which I assume are being used for CAN since that provides feedback)? We typically use the PDP as the terminating resistor for our CAN devices.

I modeled both (the new one is transparent in the render) since were not sure yet what were going to use. Budget is tight for us so were trying to use what we already have. Our electronics guys said it wouldn't be hard to add one by ourselves, but if all else fails we'll just be forced to buy the new pdp :mad:
