Also, are you sure you want a 775 as your main drive motor? Your chance of burn out is much higher and you really don't want to take that type of risk. The way the motor is designed makes it a much smarter choice for any application where it won't be stalled for a significant length of time. Although you probably won't stall much in a swerve drive, you will be running close to stall conditions frequently and that will generate a large heat load.

Awesome execution either way.
