Re: Swerve Concept

We will see how accurate our vendor is, we may have to do standoffs, we'll see

As for the wheels, you bring up a good point, the 2 wheels will add a lot of friction. I don't foresee that it will be too much of an issue.

I think the best thing we can do is build one module like it is, then we'll have to tweak it quite a bit. What i like about it is at the form factor, its very small, and its all gear driven with no belts or chains which means less chance of things breaking.

Thinking about it more, It would also be pretty difficult to make this design with a single wheel. I still think we will have enough torque to turn the wheel with adequate speed. There really is only one way to find out..to test it.
