Re: pic: Swerve again, for fun

Aren never ceases to break my head with his designs. The non-coaxial power transfer is so cool. I like how you use the 16-style bearing thing to avoid using any shafting at all holding the module up. I like how your crazy ideas make complete sense in terms of the problems you're trying to solve.

It doesn't look like you have any sensor feedback on the wheel (velocity, you have a thing for angle i think). Do you have something planned for that? This seems like a cool application for that on-CIM encoder that's been going around CD these days.

If you believed that none of the recent designs can survive the season, then you really should have said so ealier, when those designs were posted.
He's not objecting to the designs, he's objecting to comparing the weight of untested CAD models. He had no reason to make this point until this happened, so I don't think it's a fair criticism.
