Re: Swerve Drive Modules

You are still likely to see misalignment between the bearing holes on either side of the module that will cause grief for you in the bevel gearset.

If your team isn't yet capable of building a 4WD frame that doesn't wreck ball bearings, you should not expect to have success with a swerve drive yet. Focus on improving your deficiencies instead of replacing them with all new ones and you'll find it to be a valuable experience.
