Go to Post At IRI you have 72 of the best teams in the country. It could literally be held in a cornfield in the middle of Indiana and nobody would care, because the competition is simply that good. - Cory [more]

Revolution Swerve Modules in a C-base Frame?

I really want to see this run.

Do you already have software for swerve from previous experience, or is this your first year?

Re: pic: Finally done attaching the chain to the wheels.

Is that a plate of lexan that the swerve pod is mounted to? If so, wouldn't there be a lot of force on that particular plate?

to me it looks like it is a sheet metal because lexan does not look like that, it has a darker color when you look at it from the side and also if you zoom in on the picture you can see that it is deffinetly an aluminum plate

Re: pic: Finally done attaching the chain to the wheels.

The plate pictured is the Revolution Mounting System.

I'm interested to see this implementation using the c-base as well. So far it looks great.

Re: pic: Finally done attaching the chain to the wheels.

Glad to see you are doing better than us last year... Friction is never good.


It worked well for Breakaway. Also look into doing Field Centrick Controll

Re: pic: Finally done attaching the chain to the wheels.

yep we ran it yesterday, and it ran well, but i think we still need to do intensive driving, just to make sure nothing happens, but so far no problems.

Well the coding seems to be in the right hands, our mentor says he wont have a problem, with the coding. Him and few other students are working together and getting coding good to go.

Does your mentor have a CD account? I'd like to ask him (or her) some questions if he(she) would be willing. Thanks.
