Re: pic: Short Swerve Module
I like the form factor of this design, although I'm curious why you decided to optimize this design for height. I have recently CAD'd a swerve module that is optimized for width. Because on many robots space in the middle of the robot is at a premium where as there is usually plenty of space for the height of the drive train. I found the limit of how thin I could make it was 3", partially because the CIM is 2.5" in diameter.
Is the wheel housing made of plastic?
Also I would be concerned with the linkage between the pneumatic cylinder and the shifting mechanism, you may get some racking.
Do you have a picture of the rendering from the other side?
What miter gears are you using above the wheel?

I don't think we should only be pointing at those with exceptional bots, but those that we consider a role model team in all aspects, not just in technical design - tribotec_ca88 [more]
