Not set yet.

In kit form without a motor, wheel or drive hub it will be less than $250 each.

That would be a pretty sweet deal considering labor/machining.

Are the parts shown anodized?

The parts shown are anodized black. This is the planned production finish.

The drive shaft is .5" hex to interface with Andymark gearsets.

The weight, as pictured is 8.4 lbs.

can it be modified to allow a wider wheel?

A max wheel width of 2" is capable.

That is some really awesome stuff to hear. Can we choose anodizing colors?:D

You can always re-anodize it yourself (all you need is a battery charger, a few gallons of battery acid, and some poor unfortunate soul's bathtub ;) )

Got to see this unit in person at IRI and I was very impressed with it.

Ditto. It was pretty hefty but seemed really solidly built. I might try and convince my team to buy one before we build our Poly Swerve, but I doubt we have the offseason build funding.

I'm still telling you man, that poly swerve doesn't sound like too good of an idea. The strain on the walls of the module might be too much. CAD it out and try some stress testing first.

A quick thanks to everyone who stopped by our booth this weekend at IRI to chat!

Overall the response to the Wild Swerve modules was very positive. I'm excited to bring this very famous design to the FIRST world.

Please stay tuned to our website for production dates and pricing.

It was a bit heavy but it also used standard AM gears without lightening. A little work on those by a team would go a long way.

It's being done 100% in CAD first, yeah. This is the OTHER reason I wanna borrow 221's model :D

Anthony can give the details, but the gears are standard AndyMark. There are multiple combinations that can be used to give several different final drive ratios.

The gears used are standard Andymark.

All ratios start with a 14 tooth CIM gear to a 35 tooth .375" hex gear.

The remaining gears can be any that follow the Toughbox spread of 64 teeth max.

There are many ratios possible, the four most relevant using the CIM are as follows:

14.8:1 or about 4.8 ft/sec at max power
9.87:1 or about 7.2 ft/sec at max power
6.94:1 or about 10.36 ft/sec at max power
5.36:1 or about 13.4 ft/sec at max power


All times are GMT -5. The time now is 07:42.
