I am super interested in your design as our team is planning on creating a swerve drive over the summer and into next preseason.

Me and my sister managed to turn out a swerve module and a half a week. We had very little machining experience. Our lead machinists left along with our couch left the morning of kick off. The biggest thing that hurt us is that it got super cold causing a pipe to burst in the machine shop shutting it down for 2 and a half weeks. This caused problems.
They weighed in at something like 7 pounds 8 ounces? We were not very comfortable with bushing and our machining so they were made much heavier they they needed to be. Full bearings other then one bushing.
