Re: team 2517's swerve drive
The design is based off of a mix of 1640's swerve drive and 2471's more advanced swerve. The big tube at the top(that mounts to the robot) is 2X3 inches about 10 inches long. It is made from a single piece of extrusion that starts at .25 thick with the top and both sides being machined down to .125 thick. Right now we have belts and pulleys ordered for both a 14 fps 9.8 fps (true speed) and maybe a 12 i don't remember? We are using the bumpers as a way to reinforce the frame so we can use less weight on the frame. Fell free to look in to it more and ask questions!!! Me and Kyle can both answer.
