Re: pic: When an 8 wheel drive and a swerve drive love each other veeeerry much...

I made this over summer but a different and significantly more spectacular project has taken precedence over this. If we use it, it will be a different version than the one pictured. It has since been streamlined with the part count cut to below you average west coast drive, although some parts are significantly more complex.

I forgot how much it weighs, but the most up to date version isn't noticeably heavier than our normal drivetrain. I haven't analyzed it since July but it was in the realm of 30 pounds with motors. Probably.

The wheels are tricky to measure. The rims are around 2.4in though, a little larger with the tread.

And its Pro/e 3 on a computer at KSC where I was an intern. I use 5 at my house. Everything on all our robots is Pro/e. In 10th grade I took a class for it at a local college so I've never found it too bad. Frustrating!!!!! But not impossible.
