Re: bearing help

most gearboxes will use plain ball bearings, as will a bearing inside a rotating gear in certain shifting mechanisms. I would assume that if you were to construct a swerve drive properly, you wouldn't have any need for a special bearing. As I've never constructed one myself, I can't give you a definitive answer.
