Interesting design. How do the swerve modules rotate without driving the wheels and vice versa? It appears to be all through the same axle, and unless you have plans on drilling through the vex gears (which you might) in order to make them rotate about the shaft (dead axle), I don't see how it works.
My guess is that the large gears on each assembly are not attached to the axle and just bolted into the U shape to turn, and the axles of each are driven.
