Re: Swerve Drive Modules

I updated the design a bit to fit everyone's suggestions. (I did not fix the drive shaft yet, though. I am a little worried that it'll be difficult to assemble like this, so I may make the dual-triangles on the side into large rectangles with filleted corners.
You may notice that I removed the riveted sprocket from the top due to the fact that it is very obviously ineffective. I am going to eventually replace it with timing-belt pulleys from McMaster. Does anyone have an idea as to how I might attach these to the frame?
