It's impressive to see how your wheels (Or other teams with swerve) don't wobble back and forth very much. We tried swerve this year, and it was kind of a disaster. There were maybe a few times where it would kind of do what you want it to, but other than that there was no control, and it wouldn't work very well.
The key to a good swerve drive is high tolerance part design, and good sensor feedback. If you are missing either of those, you will not have very much luck with the system.
There are a ton of good designs on grabcad that I would look at. Is this your first swerve drive design that you are working on? I would be happy to help if you would like.
Howard Bartlett this is my first swerve. However, my team decided to go with 2910 mk2 swerve. We have a lot of manufacturing capability and are making the models from scratch.
@@hunterpruett5455 2910's swerve drive is a very good design. You should have pretty good luck with it. The only issue that I have found is that the Swerve Drive Specialties bevel gears and X-contact bearings are quite a bit more expensive than other non-FRC parts that are on the market. Also, I am not a huge fan of having the drive and pivot motors sticking out the top of the module. Last year, my team had a similar set up with a Cim sticking out the top, and one of them got struck by another robot and sheared off both of the screws holding the motor onto the swerve drive. I prefer a design like what 2767 has, with the motors flipped upside down inside of the chassis so that they are much more protected. It takes up a bit more space, but it definitely reduces the chance of serious damage being done to the drivetrain.

What bevels do you use.
Is there any way I could get a CAD? I’m designing a swerve drive module.
