Go to Post Titanium is almost twice as heavy as aluminum. I can have the bragging aspect of making a bullet resistant robot, but if someone is coming into a competition and shooting my robot, I have more important things to worry about! - Andrew Blair [more]

What stops the orange part that holds the wheel from grinding on the stationary part of the module?
Also, where do you source such a tiny piston?
There is a thrust bearing in between the wheel module and the gearbox. The tiny pistons are bimba pancake pistons and can be sourced from bimba or mcmaster.

Re: pic: Independent Swerve Module

Is the wheel carrier a single piece? I know on the revolution modules the side parts bolt on to a central body which saves a lot of machining time and cost. Otherwise brilliant design and an excellent render.

Re: pic: Independent Swerve Module

You can make the wheel carrier out of purchased square tube to eliminate the need to bolt it together.

Re: pic: Independent Swerve Module

I only see one motor, which appears to be driving the wheel. How are you rotating the module?

There is a window motor directly above the wheel, in between the plates, that would be responsible for rotation.
