Re: Swerve Gear Box
I haven't made a swerve drive, but you missed a pretty big option. Containing the motor within the swerve module drastically simplifies the gearing. Definitely something to consider. See Wildstang.
Of teams who do go with a coaxial approach, the vast majority use bevel gears. I'll let people with more experience than me post reasons.
