Re: pic: Swerve Design
Based on the suggestions given, I've made some changes to the design. I've removed the spacers from the module and added pockets. I also mounted the steering motor to the frame rails and reduced the size of the gearbox plates to what was actually needed. It's now about 38.5lbs. (For comparison, the 2013 KOP chassis with 4 CIMs weighs about 32.)
I also noticed that the first iteration was several pounds too light; I hadn't counted the correct mass for the the motors and gearboxes.
Edit: I added some pocketing to the gearbox plates and took off another .5lbs.
