Welcome to the wild world of swerve. On the wheel part I wold be concerned with racking. You might want to consider adding a triangle cross brace to help with this.
This may be a problem in the near future but we will have to conduct more testing to see. If it does become a problem, I think I will replace the .25" side plates and replace them with sections of a 3" by 1" by 0.125" U channel. This would rap around the front and back of the swerve giving it more rigidity.
