Re: Swerve Drive Modules
You can get bevel gears from McMaster-Carr. the website can be hard to navigate, but once you get use to it, you will find that they really have everything.

As for the design it looks good. I was the head drivetrain designer this year for FRC 79, and we did a coaxial swerve very similar to this. I really like the sheet metal concept. Our modules this year were open on 2 sides like this, but were made from 1/4 inch 6061 Alu plates. we never had any trouble with them.

If you have any further questions feel free to PM me, and I'll be happy to help.
