You're the only other team I've seen do welded tube construction wheels. I thought we were alone with that because everyong else seems to hog them out of a billet.

Wow... those are beautiful. Are those wheels driven throught a screw gear or am I not understanding how the motor drives those wheels? :confused:

Nice setup, saw you guys on the MWR webcast, good looking robot. |

I like how you used snap-rings instead of collars. That has to save a lot weight.

its really easy to just waterjet the sideplates and weld them on, these wheels are 1.75" wide Quote:

Yes, I loved your guy's setup when you brought over the spare module to compare to ours at MWR. It is a real slick setup, not to far from ours. Great job on the wheels, and I absolutely love the sprockets you guys use to steer. That is an amazing setup on that. Hawging out the middle of hte sprocket also has to save a ton of weight, and I liked the slotted holes in the sprocket (if I remember right) to fine tune each wheel's tracking before you went out onto the floor.

Hey, I like it. They look great! Swerve drives are for me as a rookie pretty impressive just because of their advantages. I'll probably test my cad abilities during the off-season by designing one myself... I'll see but it's a nice piece of metal!

If it is just standard Al tube, how thick are the walls and how true to round is the outer surface? |

3.75 o.d. disc it pressed right into the side of the tube and held itself there solidly while it was welded. they're as concentric as you'll ever need for wheels. |
Re: pic: 1625's swerve module (better pic)
How are you keying the wheel to the axle. I'm planning on using that type of wheel next year and just looking to compare ideas

Re: pic: 1625's swerve module (better pic)
how is the lower plate supported? I know it used as a bearing surface, but it is sandwiched between plates or riding on small ball casters. I have always wondered how this work with swerve modules, I understand the rest of it but the lower support plate is the only gap in my limited knowledge of drive systems(I don't go into the kinematics...yet).
