Re: pic: EWCP Jumps Into the Swerve
This looks great guys. Are those parts finished or do they still need more work? I'm guessing these are for a test platform?

We can never forget credit to Craig Hickman, Aren Hill, 111, and 1771.

Re: pic: EWCP Jumps Into the Swerve

One question though, is that extruded polycarb up top? |

Craig you need to be on CD more often with new designs so we can steal them. Still with that team in Spokane or no? |

And my latest designs that I've spent my time working on can't be posted until a few NDA's expire. |

You kids and your fancy swerves.
When will you realize that a good skid steer triumphs over all? Looks good, I'm glad you're keeping on the cutting edge. :D |

But I would like to give major props out to all the teams that make a swerve during season. :ahh::D -RC |
Re: pic: EWCP Jumps Into the Swerve
Dont be bashing swerve too much, we had it in 08 and smoked our fair share of opponents,when you get to a certain point many smaller factors limit whats best.
still dont know when we'll be doing one again, if we do itll be spiffy |

And honestly, there's never a possibility teams should rule out from the get-go. Build within your limits and constraints and what you evaluate to be best for the challenge at hand. If I were to use swerve, it would be 1771's design. |

Well, offseason has started and we're developing crazy things. Who knows, maybe 1323 will have a swerve next year. Maybe not... :ahh:;) -RC |
Re: pic: EWCP Jumps Into the Swerve
and even after saying that i still vote to not do one during the season :yikes:

Re: pic: EWCP Jumps Into the Swerve
No offense RC, but I doubt you will with that design. Unless you made some serious changes to the internals from when I had the design, it won't work. There'll be too much torsional flex between the sideplates of the module, which will either shear the screws holding it on or skip the bevel gears, depending on which way you're driving. We found a workaround to it during the offseason... It involved a lot of plumber's tape, duct tape, and some janky hacksawed metal bits.
I wish you luck. |

When you guys decided on a crab to prototype, why did you decide to do this one versus other designs out there. Just curious. |

We currently have a 148 type (looking) setup, a team 221 looking one, and the setup seen above. I'll post another pic once I get the modules back.;) |
