Awesome design! I was working on swerve concept that is almost exactly the same as the one you just posted, but our team doesn't really have the manufacturing abilities to make it...

I like how this design combines the coaxial type drive with the large bottom turntable to take the side load. I see several teams that have coaxial swerve modules with a massive bearing on the top to take all of the load (see 118). There are also teams that make swerve modules with the motor built in (not coaxial), and these are usually supported well on the top and bottom (see 111). A design with the large bottom support that is also coaxial seems like the right way to do it. (so far 1625 is the only team I've seen with this type of design)

I hope you manage to get it built and it works out for you, I'd love to see this design in action!
