Base Assembly — Swerve Drive Preparation

Begin the assemblyarrow-up-right process by assembling and testing all swerve drive modules.

  • Verify that all four swerve drives are fully functional before integrating them into the base.

  • The configuration must include:

    • Two left-oriented swerve drivetrains

    • Two right-oriented swerve drivetrains

  • Confirm correct motor operation, steering response, encoder feedback, and wiring integrity for each module.

Important: Once the base frame is fully assembled, removing or servicing the swerve drives will be difficult and time-consuming. Thorough verification at this stage is critical to avoid rework later in the build.

Proceed only after all swerve drives have been tested and verified to operate correctly.
