Go to Post FIRST is again mirroring real life. And in real life, when we build and design robotic and automated systems, it's safety first. Hitting a human in real life loses a lot more than 30 points. - Fred Agnir [more]

Re: Our First Swerve

I give great credit for it not being derivative of other designs. Signaling independent thought. I also really like that this is a minimum required machining capability design - we look for that as a team that enjoys swerving but does not have much machining resources. This does tend to add weight.

I presumed what looks like belts is a crude rendition of chain and sprockets.

I do think having the two wheels, spread apart will cause a reduced response time for steering which I believe to be necessary for smooth transitions and driving experience

What size - diameter - colsons? 3.25"? probably fine with 1 CIM.

Nice addition to the swerve design discussions.
