Re: Swerve Drive Modules

I would have doubts on the ability of the single output shaft to be able to take the side force from impacts regularly incurred in FRC competition, also how would you be taking thrust load from the weight of the robot? In general these are both really important factors for swerve drive. I would recommend looking into Delrin and other bearing systems to attach it to the robot.
