Quite impressive, my team is currently looking out to make a swerve drive module for the upcoming FTC season, this video gives us great insights! Thank you

[@TerraVoxel]

if you do actually plan on making a swerve, make sure it’s done before the season starts, and make it as foolproof as possible. during powerplay I’ve had a few issues with it because I decided to build mine in the actual season

[@neongaming4044]

@@TerraVoxel thank you so much

[@bear2c]

Terra you too. I like how people in TMC is switching to robotics. I've joined my first FRC too.

[@TerraVoxel]

Yoo, that’s crazy. What team? I know a lot more people in tmc in frc and ftc

Wow look a good swerve maker

How can I add encoders, for Swerve orientation

[@TerraVoxel]

the axon mini+ servos already have a built in analog absolute encoder you can read out with the 2nd servo cable, but if you want to use different servos, you can attach a encoder on top of your servo gear, which is 1:1 to the pod. make sure this is a absolute encoder, as this makes sure you don’t have to zero your pod later, due to the way absolute encoders work.

[@AlejandroFuentes-kc5gb]

@@TerraVoxel Thanks! Like, I can run it as a Continuous Rotation Servo at the same time I get position data?

[@TerraVoxel]

@@AlejandroFuentes-kc5gbyes, they can run both in servo and continuous mode, with full range analog absolute encoders. Make sure to check the axon documentation for implementing the encoders in code btw ;)

Hey is there a bill of materials for this? (Materials list) Thank you!

[@TerraVoxel]

nope.
