Re: pic: 6 week swerve

If that bottom is a single piece, you will want to add a radius on the inner edges on the top.
How thick is the bottom plate? It looks pretty thin right now.
How are you constrianing the bevel gears on that shaft? How are you constraining the other gears?
Your top plates are too thin. It looks like it's 1/8" at most. Make it 1/4" to be really safe.
I LOL'd at that gear on the top. I assume that's a versakey gear with 3/8" hex bore like I ised on my drill press verson.
You need some thrust bearings on the module to support the vertical loads. This year more than ever it's going to be turning under a lot of load.

All things considered I would not do a swerve drive fresh out of the box. Please consider buying something like a premade team 221 revolution module and just belting some motors to it.
