Re: pic: Team 4522 Team SCREAM Swerve Module

The module tubes definitely took the longest to make and we had to get creative with them. They were also the most fun. We have a HAAS TL-1 Lathe and it was a life saver.

We bored out the ID with a boring bar and press fit bronze thrust bushings into them with an arbor press. We then parted the excess bushings off on the lathe. The thrust axle houses the bearing.

We used our mill to drill out the mounting holes. There are several operations involved but we think we can do it efficiently now if we decide to use swerve for this season.
