Implementing carbon fiber in FRC components would be really interesting as well.
Being as it's an engineering project, make sure you are solving an identifiable real-world problem, not just creating a neat thing. Outside of a demo or a competition, it's rather difficult to find a problem that is solved by a lightweight swerve drive that could not also be met with omni or mecanum, or that would be better met by an automated x/y/theta table.
