2026 Release of 3d Printed Swerve

Inspiration for 3D Printed Swerve

After the 2024 FRC season, our team decided that we wanted to implement swerve drive for the 2025 FRC season. Due to our team's budget and the price of COTS swerve modules, we attempted to find a lower cost solution. One of our students came across a Chief Delphi post from FRC Team 3737, Roto Raptors. 

This swerve is a modified version of FRC Team 3737's 3D printed swerve design. We do not claim credit for creating this design, we simply adjusted what Team 3737 created to fit our needs.

3038's 3D Printed Swerve, Snow Drift

We modified FRC Team 3737, Roto Raptors, design to fit our design constraints. Our main goal was to adjust the mounting hole pattern to accommodate REV MaxTubing and make assembly easier. We also wanted to recreate most models in Fusion 360 in order to have feature history so changes would be easier in the future.

Revision B-2026 (3/25/26)

1. Updated PNs for 2026 season

2. Switched to REV Through-bore Encoder (PN). Removed instructions for previous encoder.

3. Added information based on 2025 competition performance.

4. Changed drive motor to NEO Vortex. 

5. Removed instructions for NEO and Kraken drive motors. The 2026 design is currently not compatible with NEO or Kraken drive motors (use 2025 REV A instead).

6. Removed 3D printed tools that are no longer needed.

7. Made both ⅜" hex shafts the same.
