This is a complex, highly compact swerve module built for FRC competition, used by team 3176 and completely open source.
This is a complex, highly compact swerve module built for FRC competition, used by team 3176 and completely open source.
This design was driven by me, with around 600 hours put into CAD work and research. This project opened me up to work and research into 3d printing, physics, CNC usage, CAM, CAD, manufacturing, timelines, leadership, and more.

What is Swerve?
Swerve drive is a type of drivetrain that involves all wheels being independently driven and steered. This allows the drive train to translate and rotate simultaneously, with neither action having an effect on the other. Coaxial swerve specifically uses a 2 axle system, with an independent motor driving each axle. Swerve drive has specific advantages and disadvantages compared to other teams.
