Base Assembly — Swerve Drive Preparation
Begin the assembly 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.
