Re: pic: Team 2220's Swerve Drive Module

Chris is me: You concern is quite valid, we may have to change our gearing ratio in the future to fix this if it becomes an issue.

jspatz1: I definitely agree, we plan to switch to #25 chain and sprockets if/when we have a weight issue this season. We used #35 on our prototype to try to avoid chain stretching or breaking, and were going to try #25 next to see if we can reduce weight. Your team's success gives us more confidence that it will work well and remain durable throughout the season.

Jared341 & jspatz1: We had a similar concern with that bearing, in fact the students and the mentors spent an entire night discussing the issue. The main support for the module is the column on the top, which will be inserted through two bushings in the chassis much like you suggested, jspatz1. This will allow the module to pivot within these bushings, and the two points of contact will take most of our torque loads we may suffer from collisions or rapid direction changes. Our bearing therefore should only have to support thrust load. The only issue we have left is to find a more suitable bearing to take this thrust load.

Me and Jedward45 will try to post the other pictures of our swerve system ASAP so you can see our full design for yourself.
