Re: Swerve Drive Modules

Also, I know 1717 uses the main bent SM piece with open sides, in additional to two side plates which rivet on. This makes assembly way easier, but makes repair quite difficult. Of the two designs (one piece, three pieces), which is preferable? Also, would it be a terrible idea to weld the timing-belt pulley to the SM? I know it would warp considerably.
