Any evidence (either way) that the delrin/acetal bevel gears can hold up for a full event?

Also, are you sure you want a 775 as your main drive motor? Your chance of burn out is much higher and you really don't want to take that type of risk. The way the motor is designed makes it a much smarter choice for any application where it won't be stalled for a significant length of time. Although you probably won't stall much in a swerve drive, you will be running close to stall conditions frequently and that will generate a large heat load.

Awesome execution either way.

The OP said that this was meant for a demo bot (a light one at that). I don't think the goal is to hold up to full on aerial assault defense.

That's how I saw the module, correct me if I'm mistaken OP. Love the design BTW.
