Re: Team 2471 swerve drives
Looks good... but I'm concerned with the rigidity of the frame. Is there going to be a belly pan or the like for the electronics? If not, I'd look at some diagonal bracing...

No it is four pieces of 3" by 1" by .125" U channel, with two CNC'd cross braces, made from 3" by 1" tube. The outside U channels were TIG welded together a couple of weeks ago. Learning to TIG weld was another one of my off-season projects.

The frame shown in the picture, and the robot shown in the video are one and the same, but the video was taken later on in the project. In the video, the robot has a belly pan and electronics.
