Just curious how teams raise their base with swerve modules to test their swerve modules? Just wanted some inspiration to put on our robot cart.

Do you mean to see if they are aligned and working correctly? Our team just tips the robot up on it’s side and holds it for the test. This also lets us see the wheels for recalibration or systems checks.
I don’t know how much this will help since it doesn’t seem very applicable with this design but we essentially have a crosspiece running from the front to the back of the robot that sits between the swerve modules. Swerve motors get their own cutout. Unfortunately I only have pictures right now.
2x4’s

This is basically the way our cart works too, though we use 2x4s held in brackets (so they can be replaced as they wear) to support the robot’s belly pan.
