Go to Post The rules also never explicitly say that I can't park a Boeing 747 right in the middle of the play field and use it as an obstacle for the other alliance. But after a little thought, something tells me that I probably should not do it. - dlavery [more]

Re: Swerve Drive CAD

Cool design concept. I have a few suggestions though, the shifting would be nice, but if you're planning on puting this in an actual frc robot, you need to watch the BOM. I believe that AM super shifters run for abou $240, and most conventional swerves are over $250, you multiply this cost by four, and you could use over half of your robot budget in the drive train.
Also, its vary important to have good encoding to run a swerve drive so you should draw the encoders, if you haven't already.
