It's a fairly simple fix, and they said it had a minimal impact on reaction speed of the robot.
This would remove the need for slip-rings, which would bring the overall cost of the modules down quite a lot while simplifying construction.
Also, if you don't mind me asking, exactly how are you planning on packaging this swerve module?

We've done a system like that before and we know it is doable we would just rather avoid it hence why we are trying this approach. it certainly is going to cost more but we want to try this during the off seasons to see if we can perfect it by competition time or go with another system(like the one you mentioned)
not sure what you mean in regards to packaging it, elaborate? As in the over all structure of it or???
