Re: Help Identifying part

Any help identifying/locating the part would be very much appreciated and would greatly help our off-season build.



Edit: To Clarify, we don't need the exact part (though it would be nice), but the name of this type of part and where to get it would be great as well.
I'd probably best describe the part as a swerve module rotation bearing block. The creators of the system probably have their own, different name. This type of part is extremely specific to FRC, and I doubt that you'll be able to find ones outside of FRC suppliers like AndyMark and 221 Robotics Systems.

Generally, the CD community is a lot more helpful if we know your goal. Is this to build a swerve drive in the offseason?

EDIT: Apparently I can't read, yes, they are building a swerve drive.
