Re: Team 4926 Swerve Drive CAD

I see the thrust bearings, but I don't see any radial bearing/bushing to keep "Pivot Module Bottom" from rubbing against the frame. Is there something I'm missing or are you ok with metal-on-metal contact there?

Also I'm a little skeptical about the on-the-fly gear meshing. It definitely could work, but without a synchronizer like in a car transmission I could imagine a fast-moving gear crashing into a slow-moving gear and shattering. Just something to keep in mind.
