Re: pic: Swerve Shifter

Is the whole weight of the robot supported by that one bearing? TBH that's absolutely terrifying. I would't be surprised if the jerky movements of the bot make that bearing pop right out.

How is your turning pulley mounted to the module? In this render it appears to be mounted to the drive shaft, but that can't be right.

What's holding your miter gears and sprocket in place? What keeps the gears from sliding on their shafts, and what keeps the top gear from sliding down?

How do you plan on making the turning module frame? Is a solid piece of metal or do you plan on making it in multiple parts?

Anyway, great job on getting the whole shifting gearset to be single stage!
