One of the goals for our team during the off-season was to design a swerve drive that used a coaxial design. After our 2015 swerve, we decided we wanted a design that was faster in turning and allowed a modular design to make quick changes and/or fixes on the fly. CAD files will be made available as soon as possible. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
The wheels are powered in pairs by 2 speed gearboxes.
1.65 reduction in module.
Uses 4"x2" Colson wheels.
Weighs approximately 5lbs.

Just Curious, what is your reasoning behind powering the wheels in pairs with 2 transmissions?
Independently powered wheels can provide more in the ways of movements and agility.

Why did you chose an AM775 gear motor over a BAG motor or a 775pro attached to a versa planetary?

I do have a different plate that is made for a 1 speed version of this for independent powering.

There are also the mounting holes for a versa planetary if needed.

Is it lighter to go with the 2 2-speed transmissions? Doesn't that limit the drivetrains ability?
