Re: AM' swerve modules

I have seen (very effective) swerve modules made with a single piece of 4" square tubing and a drill press. The assertion that you need a full machine shop to make a swerve drive is false. Yes, it might be prettier, lighter, and more efficient with the help of a CNC, but isn't that true of any mechanism in FIRST?
