Re: Swerve Comments

There is no right angle drive in our crab module. The motor is on the module and the transmission is integral to the module, all gears. Shoulder bearings pressed into the vertical (module) frame members with shoulders on the shafts keep things from walking side to side. We have used two CIM and two FP in the past or four CIM or really long ago, two CIM and two drill motors. We use Globe motors for steering either two Globes for all four wheels or one for front wheels and one for back. The modules pull out with four screws and the power connector.
