What needs to be CNCd?

A shifter is easily possible, I just haven't added one in. In order to change a gearbox, you only need to undo 4 bolts. In order to save weight and structure, the gearbox bolts also mount the modules.
The only CNC necessary parts are the side plates of the actual modules.

one last question how many swerve drives do you currently have designed?

It's actually a single block, not two plates. I just chopped the middle out to save weight. We've built a crab with a mounting system just like this, and never had any issues.
I think I'm up to like 8 different ones designed... this is by far the lightest and best.
