Re: Swerve Drive and Ball Bearing Questions!
When make a crab, you should aim to have two points that support the module, rather far apart near each end. The modules don't normally spin fast enough to warrant a bearing being a necessity. When I had dreams of making a crab, I've always thought of using bushings as the point for the top contant and some sort of teflon pieces with groves for the bottom of the module.

Heres something I toyed with for a while.
