Re: pic: Team 696 Swerve Drive module

Why is the miter gear cantilevered so far out? It looks as if you could just move the whole top plate down and it wouldn't interfere with the gear but it would greatly increase the strength and reduce the loads experienced where the module meets the rest of the robot. I am also curious as to how you are holding the module together?
