 Not every team can start 200 teams in Canada or Hawaii because they are located in relatively dense region of teams already. This doesn't mean they can't impact their local and surrounding areas. This is where you have to be creative. - tim-tim [more] |

Re: Swerve Drive Modules
You can get bevel gears from McMaster-Carr. the website can be hard to navigate, but once you get use to it, you will find that they really have everything.
As for the design it looks good. I was the head drivetrain designer this year for FRC 79, and we did a coaxial swerve very similar to this. I really like the sheet metal concept. Our modules this year were open on 2 sides like this, but were made from 1/4 inch 6061 Alu plates. we never had any trouble with them. If you have any further questions feel free to PM me, and I'll be happy to help. |

Re: Swerve Drive Modules
Yes. I am familiar with the McMaster bevel gears. my opposition is that they cost upwards of $30, and are relatively large. way too large for our needs.

Re: Swerve Drive Modules
Every swerve 1625 has had (alot) has used mcmaster part #6529K14
this has a 3/8ths bore, you'd have to broach a key yourself, we've had them hex broached typically. Haven't killed one yet. Also advice on the module, take a long look at the path forces travel and what things need to stay perfectly aligned (bevel gears) |
