Re: Swerve Drive CAD

Cool design. Looks very slick.

Just personal preference, but for ease of maintenance I'd probably change the orientation of the steering motor. With it hanging below the module, it's going to be a pain to get at, especially with the wheel right next to it; I'd probably flip it.

I'm also a strong advocate for belt over chain wherever possible, but that's really minor for short distances like this.
