Re: Swerve Module Question

this year i designed a swerve drive based off of 71,111,118 mainly and some others.
it was a 3-speed shift on the fly coaxial swerve drive using dewalt transmissions and bevel gears. the bottom of the module was supported by rollers inset in the frame to create a huge roller bearing but due to annoyances we'll be eliminating those next year and using delrin sheets around the exterior of the bottom to save weight and complexity. If you do make a swerve drive make it maintainable we arrived at the pits saturday morning at the midwest regional started some maintenance that ended up taking and hour and a half which according to the match schedule would have been fine but they were running early and we missed our very first qualifying match ever just a little warning to it doesn't happen to anyone else.
