Re: pic: Swerve again, for fun

Is the weight of the robot sitting on the cim pinion? I can't figure out the wheel pivot bushing/bearing for this design.

Edit: I see the button heads now. Is that a silverthin bearing?

Re: pic: Swerve again, for fun

It's compact for sure, but I can't figure out the bearing design.

As far as I can tell, all of the vertical loads are taken by the CIM shaft (!), and I can't really tell what takes the horizontal loads. There's an upper steering bearing on the CIM shaft, but the only lower bearing I can see is the white ring below the steering gear and that doesn't have much radial contact. What am I missing?
