As you said earlier you used 1/10, was it for this type of swerve/crab setup or for a 6-wheel? As a mechanical engineer I would take the advice of fellow mech-heads and increase the width of your side plates, 1/8th is the smallest I would go with major cross bracing. Looking at your setup your main drive shaft is about 6" away from your main mounting point for those side plates, and that type of torque on 1/10" sheet won't last long. Take a look at some of the more successful crab drives of the last couple years (i.e. 71, 111, 1625), and make your modules beffey to start and slowly cut away the fat as you improve the design. |

Re: sneak peak
I'm asking for a stress analysis. You probably won't convince 99% of us without one. Just run it in the worst-case scenario that you can think of and post the results picture, or something like that. If you can show us that it won't fail, more teams might wind up using .1" metal on their robots next year. We all win. If you don't show one, there's a good chance that the first time it breaks, someone will say, "I told you so" or "Why didn't you use..." or "What were you thinking?". We all lose. You've got the CAD files, so it should be pretty simple to run the analysis, and if you don't know how, it's a pretty good way to learn.
