Hmm... Blue wheels on a PINK robot, a Cheesy swerve that RAWC's, and some Cheesy Cookies that are out of this world.

Should be an interesting season, eh? :cool:

Well, 254 seems to be building a drive base for a team that shares their shop...

Correction... they've helped make a few parts for the drivetrain.

Cool. I have a friend who just joined that team. Sounds like a fun program.

Can't wait to see what that RAWC/Poof Leviathan is this year...

How were those machined? Was it an aluminum block milled down?

Maybe it was 1/4in rectangle bar placed in a CNC bender. Either way, those are beautiful pieces.

looks like c-channel or rectangular tubing with the bearing holes milled out.

They were machined from solid.

How long did it take to machine those?

All that machined out of solid....that's just obscene. They are amazing looking though.

I was convinced they were joking about swerve.

Is this why you went through all of your coolant?

these pieces look more like a universal joint than a swerve module to me. I still think 254/968 and swerve are not to be this year.

Since they posted a picture I can break my silence. In the Fall, some members of 254 asked me to send them some cross section views of our 2002/2003 swerve modules. Those forks look awefully familiar ...

About the bearing blocks: The swerve forks allow the drive transmission to be remotely located so the bearing blocks could be somewhere else on the robot.

Those forks look sweet.
