This past Saturday marked the start of Swerve Drive Specialties marathon week of production. Our goal is to build up inventory prior to kickoff and find out how many MK2 swerve modules and accessories we can make in 7 days. We plan to run the mill a minimum of 12 hours per day.
We will be posting periodic updates in this thread throughout the week. Please feel free to ask questions.
We primarily have been working on MK2 main plates and motor plates. We have also made a good amount of shafts and some wheel mounts and main pulleys. So far a solid couple of days. I’m excited to see what we can accomplish in the remaining 5 days.
MK2 Standard kits and fundamentals kits are back in stock for immediate shipment. Steel gear module kits will be back in stock and backordered modules will ship as soon as we receive our order of steel gears from AndyMark. They should be shipped mid next week.
The week went very well. In just 7 days we managed to machine enough parts for over 150 MK2 Swerve modules. If there is demand, production will continue into next week as well. The Speedio with Pierson Workholding pallet system is a killer combination. A huge thanks to Ryan, Tim, and my dad. I’m really proud of what we accomplished in the past 7 days. Below are some pictures of parts produced this week.

I hope it is a swerve friendly game because they are fun to watch, but we will see in 7 hours why the field drawings are twice as long and why there is so much lumber… (Many different obstacles like 2016?) All I know is that I need to know what the iron pipe is for!
These parts are beautiful as always. Wish we had the time and money to make it worthwhile to pick a few up.
