Re: First team with swerve drive?
as far as i know no data was published. the signifigance of the bot was never really noted on the team.

they do have solidworks archives of the pod modules... and the engineering mentor who donated the use of his shop has a spare pod to it...

they do not know how special the bot is. they will tomorrow. Actually, the code for it may be lost... we are looking for a copy so we can convert it to CAN bus (yes, it is jaguar based. all 10 of them.)

the encoders are US digital analog encoders, model MA3-A10-125-B. they have a 1/8" shaft, with ball bearings. the cables are hand braided to reduce noise.

the nice thing is to make it fit on the shelf for storage, the top part of the bot is off, giving a nice view of the drivetrain.
