Re: pic: Swerve Module Concept (View 2)
I have some questions & comments:
How does the whole module turn on the vertical axis? Is that a motor with reduction drive in there, or is there something not shown to rotate it?
Is there a way to limit how many turns it can make, so as to not tangle the wires powering the drive motor - or is power to the drive motor* managed differently?
Do you envision the wheel carrier (fork?) as one piece, or made from a few pieces and joined somehow?
What-if you wanted a similar design, but with several inches of ground clearance - like up to the axle for instance - and thoughts on how you might manage that?
Overall, I very much like the design and an considering building something like that as a prototype, but with the intent of using the drive outdoors.
