What you'll build in Stage 1D — a swerve drivebase, the platform everything else bolts onto.

The Project

Design a swerve drivebase from the top down.

  • Swerve lets the robot drive any direction independent of its heading.
  • Each module has two motors: one drives, one steers.
  • It's the foundation every other mechanism mounts to.

The Build

Structure
  • Aluminum box tube
  • 0.5 in hole grid, 0.196 in holes
  • Pre-punched tube from WCP / Thrifty / REV
Modules
  • The team's swerve module (we run WCP)
