If we have a pile of CIMs and a Bridgeport (and the sharp students that know how to use it), how much much coin are we talking for swerve on a flyweight chassis (NOT a competition quality chassis)? How much machining time to go with it?

If your looking for a custom swerve drive that can be build quickly with only manual machines, I would recommend looking at our most recent design. Here is a link:

The first module was almost completely designed and manufactured in one week by a couple students and a mentor. It was build with only a manual Bridgeport and a table top manual lathe.
