 A wrench isn't a nesscary part is it?
Last Night, we tested the robot and a large, (yes I said LARGE) wrench fell from somewhere on the robot....Along with bolts, nuts, and a very interestingly cut piece of Aluminum... - Will Bale [more] |

Re: pic: 1671 Swerve Module
Nice. Keep up the good work.
One more thing I just remembered. I can't tell from the picture, but do you have thrust bearings/bushings in place to distribute the thrust loads from those miter gears? Since the gears are working at an angle, there will be a significant thrust load along their axes. If you don't have a bearing/bushing in place to handle this, you can end up damaging parts very quickly. We found this out the hard way in our worm drive kicker gearbox this year. If you go to the 221 website and take a look at the close-ups of the Revolution (or download the CAD file), I believe you can see the thrust bushings implemented correctly.
