The Fisher Prices are the drive motors. They are mounted in a similar way as on the Test/Training Bot. We are building next Tuesday and I'll be sure to take some pictures and upload them. We bought a backup AndyMark gearbox, but never had to use it, so we will be steering the prototype swerve modules with it. We would like to eventually put Dewalt gearboxes on each module, but are not sure we will be able to make them. It would be great if we could look at, borrow, or buy one as an example. Thanks for all of the feedback!
