I just ordered a swerve kit. The main reason I bought it was the bearing plate. I am real curious about how durable it is. I would like to mount it differently and use it for the base of a robot arm. Thus the arm will be able to swivel.
I might also try a gripper claw. The swerve kit then serves as a “wrist” on which the gripper can twist.
What other uses can you think of for the swerve kit?
it’s pretty sturdy, but for a robot plate arm… not so sure. It’s great for the wheels and such, or if you wanted to make something like a wrist…
when you make the arm, make it out of aluminum parts if you can, you don’t want it to be too heavy…
