Re: The in-wheel swerve shifter!
I share the concerns about the forces seen by the dog teeth; steel or not, the shock loads can easily exceed several tens of LbFt, translating to hundreds of LbF on the tooth.

But that can easily be compensated in the final design. Overall a very ingenious solution!

As for needing a 4-axis CNC: Naah. We got metal files and hordes of Freshmen...
