Re: 4146 Swerve CAD

Overall, seems like a nice design. A suggestion and a couple of questions:

The keyed miter gears that you're using are very expensive relative to those with an unfinished bore. I suggest that you check out the gears that I used in our design, from SDP-SI (Part A 1C 4-Y20020), which only cost $11 each. Instead of using a key or a set screw, we're attaching the gears to the shaft with a taper pin (http://www.mcmaster.com/#taper-dowel-pins/=pzpvtu.

How's the yellow box with the steering sensor made? What's the sensor and how's it attached to the shaft?
