Re: pic: Rosie Robotics first time doing Swerve

Well we were looking at trying to keep the weight centralized over the wheels. We also were thinking about suspension on the pods, it would be only 1/4 in travel anyways to absorb some of the vibration on the floor.

I'm curious, could you elaborate on some of your choices for doing this? Specifically, why mount the motor on the module?
One other factor on why the CIM is mounted in the pod is for the traction control system our code guys have been working on, each wheel needs it's own motor and this was the easiest way to provide a full range of motion as well.
