Re: pic: Swerve Shifter
Few comments:
-You need a sensor location for both the steering and drive. An absolute encoder is preferred for steering, team 1640 has excellent information on such sensors. It looks like you retained the US Digital drive gear from the ball shifter.
-You need a lot more support for the entire module. Specifically:
--Thrust surface on top
--Something to react module torque on the pivot - either a needle bearing on top, large bushing surface, or a delrin ring around the bottom which reacts to a chassis member.
--The drive axle should react no force except the torque it is driving
-The drive chain is fine exact c-c, you will have no problems with a chain of that length and sprockets of that size.
