Re: Swerve Drive Modules
What is the thickness of the sheetmetal?

The concept looks good, but that metal is going to flex at the bottom. My team used 6061 T6 with 3/16 wall in 2008 and we had trouble with stress on the axle bending the modules with a similar design. I would try to reinforce it somehow.
