Re: pic: Drivetrain Concept

Strafing should be straight, and it should be possible to do anything that a swerve can do as well.

Assembly would either be bolts or rivets, but I am thinking mostly rivets. The frame is made by 1" x 2" aluminum box tubing, and 1" x2" u channel.

For weight, roughly half is in motors, and I could drop a set of CIMs and change the reduction pretty easily to reduce weight. Also, I'm planning on adding some kind of lightening cutout to all of the frame members, which should cut down the weight some as well.
