    Swerve Drive Kit: Motion Accessories

    Uploaded by

    Riyan Haryono
    The swerve drive kit allows for building a unique robot drive system with unmatched maneuverability. It uses independently rotating drive pods that can each spin up to 360 degrees, allowing multi-directional motion. Each pod has an integrated wheel and motor mounted to a bracket that can be adjusted for rigidity and spun using a mechanism like a motor with a gear meshing with the pod's top gear.

    The swerve drive kit lets you build a unique drive and steering VEX Inventor’s Guide.
    configuration for your VEX robot. Get unmatched maneuverability
    and increased versatility through drive pods which can be configured
    with up to 360 degrees of rotation. This kit will allow you to build independent drive
    modules with an integrated wheel and motor that can be separately “spun” to allow for
    multi-directional motion.

    Assembly Instructions:

    1. Install two (2) Round Hole Inserts into the center hubs of each of the 60-tooth High
    Strength Gears.

    2. Using (2) 5/8” Long 8-32 Screws and two (2)


    8-32 Nylock Nuts per assembly, attach a High
    Strength Gear to a Swerve Module Bracket. Use
    two (2) 4.6mm Plastic Spacers to space the gear
    off from Swerve Module Bracket, as shown.

    3. Attach a module to your robot structure using


    one (1) 1-1/8” Long 8-32 Screw and one (1)
    8-32 Nylock Nut. For added rigidity, thread the
    bolt through a VEX Delrin Bearing Flat (not
    included).

    Limited 90-day Warranty


    This product is warranted by VEX Robotics, Inc.
    against manufacturing defects in material and
    workmanship under normal use for ninety (90)
    days from the date of purchase from authorized
    Innovation First dealers. For complete warranty
    details and exclusions, check with your dealer.

    4. Adjust how much the 1-1/8” Long Screw is tightened to change the amount of force
    required to “spin” the module.
    a. A tighter screw results in a more rigid module, but it also requires more force to spin.
    Try to find a balance where the module spins freely, but does not wobble.

    5. Attach the drive motor and wheel inside the Swerve Module Bracket. This may vary
    depending on your robot design. There are (2) VEX 2.75” diameter wheels included.

    accessories
    6. Add a mechanism to “spin” the swerve module (not included). This mechanism could be a
    motor with a gear that meshes with the 60-tooth gear at the top of the swerve module.
    a. If you want multiple swerve modules to spin together, gear them such that they are
    mechanically linked together.
