My teams summer project is to design a swerve drive system to use as a base for next year. I have created a CAD model of what our design for the wheel housing. I have attached the CAD model.

the current design uses a bevel gear system to drive the wheel and a integrated sprocket for turning of the wheel housing. The rational method is going to be a turn table that is attached to the top of the housing. There is also a ring on the bottom for stabilization of the housing to stop the wheel housing from bending to the side.

Some of the issues with the design is the cost, my team is on a budget, of $135 per wheel housing being a bit much. see attachment for more details. Also weight and size are important to get down so if you see a area that can be cut out, we have access to a water jet, or know of a lighter component. It would be highly appreciated if you commented on it.
